The one on the right of the photo is "Beni Queen" and the one on the left is "Akihime." ``Beni Queen'' is a beautiful red color with large grains and a luxurious feel. The texture is firm and the sweetness and sourness are well balanced. “Akihime” has a high sugar content and is very sweet! There is no acidity and the pulp is soft.

Now, after purchasing fresh strawberries from the direct sales store, we highly recommend visiting the cafe ``Kissa Dot'' where you can bring your own strawberries. This shop is located a few minutes by car near Shinoda Strawberry Farm, and if you bring in the strawberries you purchased at Shinoda Strawberry Farm or Sato Fruit Studio, they will make your favorite parfait.
Kissa Dot is a cafe where you can bring in freshly picked strawberries.
