What are Amaou strawberries?

Amaou strawberries are a notable variety from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, known for their sweetness, large size, and bright red color. The name "Amaou" is an acronym from the Japanese words for sweet, round, big, and delicious, highlighting their main attributes. These strawberries are carefully cultivated to ensure a juicy texture and rich flavor, making them popular both in Japan and abroad. Their distinct taste and appearance make them a favored choice for culinary events, such as the Andaz Tokyo’s Strawberry Afternoon Tea, where they are featured in various dishes.
