What do the Japanese sky-high strawberries that sell for 900 yuan each look like?

Japanese people love eating strawberries, and Japan as a country is also extremely "serious" about strawberries, carrying out all kinds of fancy improvements on them, and there is a unified nationwide method of strawberry cultivation. In addition, because Japan's territory is long and narrow from north to south, with four distinct seasons and great differences between cold and warmth, strawberries are constantly bred according to the local climate and soil of each prefecture, and new varieties are introduced. This has led to every region of Japan having its own representative variety, so it can be said that the varieties are very rich.

It is reported that this time a premium gift box of 3 kinds of strawberries produced in Nara Prefecture was auctioned for a high price of 1.5 million yen (about 97 thousand yuan). The gift box contained three new varieties of strawberries, and their names were also given very elegantly: "Kotoka," "Awayuki," and "Pearl White." Each variety had 36 berries, and the gift box held a total of 108 strawberries. By estimation, one strawberry costs the high price of 900 yuan.

This box of strawberries was bought at auction by a buyer from Hong Kong, China. The buyer said these strawberries were worth this price and would be taken back for viewing. In addition, the person in charge of the farm also said that these strawberries were the result of more than 20 years of research and development by Nara fruit farmers in Japan. Unlike traditional red strawberries, they are white with a blush of red, the flesh has almost zero fiber, and the skin is especially thin, so when eaten there are not many impurities, and they have an extra smooth and fragrant texture, making them worth this selling price. Immediately, netizens said one after another: "It's good to be rich," "Can't afford to eat them, can't afford to eat them," and so on.

1. Amaou strawberry

Amaou strawberry is not the highest-priced in Japan, but it is the most famous. A box of strawberries can sell for 900 yen (about 55 yuan) in the supermarket, with about 10 berries per box. The characteristics of Amaou strawberry, simply put, are red, round, large, and delicious. In Japan, because it is both large and red, dessert shops love to use Amaou as an ingredient to make all kinds of desserts.

Also called "Yayoihime," its stem end is slightly green, and compared with "Amaou" its texture is a bit harder and crisper. It is a delicate flavor with a balanced sweet-and-sour taste, hence the name "Tochiotome." Its price is about the same as Amaou, and it can generally be bought in supermarkets. It is the most popular variety with the number one sales market share in eastern Japan.

3. Benihoppe

Actually it is Benihoppe; in Jiande it is called Hongjia, and in Donggang it is called Dandong 99 strawberry.

4. Akihime

It is also the well-known milk strawberry. Its flesh is light red, tender and juicy, its color is bright and glossy, and its fragrance is strong.

The plant grows vigorously and has strong reproductive capacity. Generally in the Zhejiang and Jiangsu area it is planted in September, and harvesting begins from November to February.
