What is Amaou Strawberry?
The Amaou strawberry is a premium variety from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is noted for its large size, bright red color, and balanced sweetness. The name "Amaou" comes from an acronym of Japanese words describing its key traits: "amai" (sweet), "marui" (round), "ookii" (big), and "umai" (delicious). Farmers carefully cultivate these strawberries, paying attention to soil, temperature, and humidity to ensure high quality. Amaou strawberries are valued for their juicy texture and rich flavor, popular in desserts and gourmet dishes, including offerings like the Amaou Strawberry Afternoon Tea at Grand Nikko Tokyo Daiba.
