We are now the season of strawberry.
I remember the difference taste when I ate strawberry in France before.
It seems the season of strawberry was early summer in France.
There are various kind of strawberry at vesitable counter in grocery stores.
The grocery store which I always go, collected a well known strawberries from Japan.
The famous species are "AMAOH",
"TOYONOKA", "AKIHIME" and so on.
There are some kind of species
"MOMOICHIGO", "ASUKA ruby"
which I never heard.
Each by each isn't same form, taste.
Sour of not so sour, or how sweet it is.
Please eat and compare!
That's why they call "Strawberry festival".
Good Business!
All of their flesh is so soft, it like melting in
my mouth.
I wrote donw before, when I introduce Japanese peach in summer, Japanese people loves
soft, sweet and sentistive stuffs so much.
Perhaps.
So, Japanese strawberry get more and more soft, seach size evolve into perfect as a sweet.
They grown up each strawberry to bigger and better tast. And then sell it with wrapping like a
snacks.
I'm not sure it exist at abroad??
Speaking of sweets, We have a typical Japanese cake " Strawberry shortcake".
I swear, definitely this is special Japanese cake.
There is a whipped cream and strawberries between sponge cake,
wrapped by pure white whipped cream.
Put a strawberry on it.
It seems can hear the voices "My country has a same one", However, Japanese shortcake
is extremely soft and lightly.
When you eat it, you can feel sensitive sweet, like you eating air or snow.
100% Japanese are familiar with shortcake. You can see most of cake shop.
Please try this also!

Japanese strawberry is not only fruits, but also close to sweets snacks as I said.
Farmer plants them at hothouse.
( That's why the best season is earlier than normal condition.)
We have a kind of event, it called " hunting strawberry".
People pay entrance fee to farmers for go inside, and they can eat it as much as they want.
There are many strawberry hot house in Hamamatsu. They start announcement about this
event from now every year.
This is the scenery of strawberry hunting.
This is for almost kids, not only for adults. It's like a leisur industry.
You can see various kind of hutnig event in Japan not only for strawberry.
For example, "grape hunting", " pear hunting", " apple hunting", "orange hunting",
and so on....
Every system is same as strawberry's.
But nowadays, these events are getting donw rather than my childhood time.
In really, I plant strawberry it called
"AKIHIME" in my garden.
The flowers are in bloom!
I expect that we can eat tons of
strawberry!
I can't wait!!
Summer is a strawberry season in our country. Our farmers don't grow them in greenhouses, but in the field in the open air. It is not very big and very sweet. People eat it as it is or make marmalade, jam, or boil it and keep in jars till winter.
As far as I know they have strawberry season in April in France. We ate delicious cakes there, but, frankly speaking, in summer. :)
We also make strawberry jam! I wish such a great spring wil come soon in Japan. It is very interesting that you eat cake only in summer time!
