Even among Fukuoka prefecture\u2019s numerous name brand strawberries, Amaou strawberries are highly popular. The name Amaou comes from four words that aptly describe the Amaou brand; akai (red), marui (round), okii (large) and umai (delicious). Located in Fukuoka prefecture\u2019s Okimachi, White Berry Farm is known for its specialization in the production of Amaou strawberries.
\nThis farm is called White Berry, but be careful not to get confused by the name. For a set price and time limit you can eat as many strawberries as you like at the farm, but they are of the red Amaou variety only.<\/p>\n
At White Berry Farm they believe that their current cultivation method, one that has allowed them to create the brand\u2019s signature sweetness, is the result of many years of ongoing research.
\n\u201cEven small size Amaou strawberries are sweet and delicious!\u201d Though Amaou brand strawberries have an image of being quite large, farm spokesperson Mr. Yamaura says that he\u2019s delighted when he hears customers make comments like the one above.<\/p>\n
Though the farm\u2019s greenhouse is large, many people visit on Saturdays and Sundays, so they recommend dropping by on a weekday. Rather than cultivating many different varieties of strawberries, the farm specializes in the Amaou variety only. However, they put what they\u2019ve learned to good use and experiment with various ideas, such as shifting the planting season for strawberry seedlings to a different time of the year. The end result is that compared to other farms, customers can enjoy a longer strawberry picking season.<\/p>\n
After trying Amaou strawberries at the local supermarkets in Fukuoka, many people who have moved here from the Kansai and Kanto areas often comment, \u201dThe sweetness of these strawberries is different!\u201d
\nApparently customers get hooked on Amaou strawberries after just their first bite, and many become repeat customers who ask to have them delivered fresh to their door every year. However, the most delicious way to sample this special taste is right off the vine, so by all means please come to White Berry Farm for a visit and indulge in their ichigo gari, or all-you-can-eat strawberries.<\/p>\n
White Berry Farm is popular among visitors to Japan as well, so if you decide to make a visit please make a reservation ahead of time via their homepage. It\u2019s quite far from the nearest station, so they recommend taking a taxi. An added bonus during the trip from the station to the farm,
