From mid-January to early May is a season that my family always waiting for. Yes, it`s a strawberry season! There are various types of strawberries in Japan. From mini size until jumbo size. No need to doubt for the taste. My child can quickly eat a pack of strawberries in an instant.
Strawberries are sold in supermarkets. It was indeed sweet. But since we tried to pick strawberry in a strawberry farm near our house, i felt that the strawberries sold in supermarkets are not too sweet anymore. Strawberries in the farm that we visited are very sweet. The red colour is very tempting and made me could not stop picking and eating.
Here , strawberries are usually cultivated with hydroponic system to keep the air temperature in the room and also releasing beetles for helping a pollinating process. The farm is very clean, guests are also given a seat to rest, drink coffee for free and also condensed milk to eat together with strawberry for free. drink free coffee and free sweetened condensed milk to be eaten with strawberries. For me, without the sweetened condensed milk is already sweet enough.
Types of strawberries are sold in "Shibiraki Farm" are quite well known like "Benihoppe" and "Sagahonoka". In a week days they usually do not serve strawberries picking. We can only pick them on Saturday and Sunday. On weekdays they only serve regular sales.
For those of you who visit Tokyo and don`t have much time but want to try to have an experience on picking strawberry in Tokyo, try to visit this place! When picking we can compete with our friends, how many strawberries could we eat in a specified time.
