Japanese summer strawberries

I visited the Tohoku region of Japan during summer vacation. At first, I planned to enjoy cherries from Yamagata, but when I found out that I could pick strawberries in Fukushima in the summer, I went right away. This strawberry farm is located in Inawashiro Town, Fukushima, a little deep in the mountains. The daytime temperature was a comfortable 23 degrees, and the varieties I could enjoy this time were "Shisei" and "Tochiotome". The official website said that "Natsuzui" and "Natsu no Mizutetsu" were also available, but I was unable to find them. At 2,800 yen for 45 minutes, it was a good deal for summer strawberry picking, and the sweetness and aroma were comparable to winter strawberries. (Photo 5 is "Natsubi Lyricism" that I bought at the market for 5,500 yen, and it had a strange crunchy, sweet texture.) #JapaneseStrawberryPicking #Fukushima #SummerStrawberries
