What Makes Tochigi Strawberries Distinctive?
Tochigi strawberries are recognized for their high quality and flavor, owed to the region’s favorable growing conditions and responsible farming practices. Tochigi Prefecture’s nutrient-rich soil, temperate climate, and ample sunlight are key factors in cultivating strawberries that are vivid in color and rich in taste.
Among various types, the "Tochiotome" variety is particularly noted for its balance of tartness and sweetness, coupled with a juicy texture. Hand-picking ensures that only the ripest and most flavorful strawberries are chosen, maintaining high standards of quality.
These distinctive qualities make Tochigi strawberries popular in fine dining, such as the Strawberry Afternoon Tea at Rihga Royal Hotel Tokyo, where they offer a refined taste experience.
