Strawberries










Japan currently has the largest production and consumption of dessert strawberries in the world. Their color and shape are truly outstanding and they are available almost anytime throughout the year, although the best season is from January to March. You can buy them at fruit shops, greengrocers or supermarkets (a container of more than 10 costs around 500 yen). Strawberry farms throughout Japan offer strawberry picking during this season, and it is wonderful to taste them right off the vine. (For an admission fee of around 1,500 yen per adult, you can eat as many as you like within a limited time.) Recommended brands are Nyoho and Toyonaka. Both have a fine balance of sweetness and tartness, and the flavor spreading inside your mouth as you bite into the fruit is marvelous. They are sometimes eaten with sugar, milk or yogurt, but these days, most strawberries are sweet enough to just wash and eat.
