It’s the middle of May.
Is the strawberry season almost over?
(SARUDONO)
That’s right.
I came from the Edo period (1603-1867), and strawberries were introduced to Japan in the latter half of the Edo period (1603-1867).
They were called Dutch strawberries.
Dutch strawberries?
(SARUDONO)
Yes.
They were called Dutch strawberries because the Dutch brought them to Japan.
At that time, strawberries were not widely used for food because their color reminded people of blood.
Well, strawberries were more for ornamental purposes than for eating.
Oh, what a waste…
Well, it is such a strawberry,
Today, I’d like to introduce a store where you can enjoy strawberries to the fullest.
It takes about 1 minute on foot from the East Exit of JR Kamakura Station.
After passing through the torii gate at the Komachi-dori entrance,
you will find Kamakura Soratsuki!
A store specializing in seasonal mochi (rice cakes)
It is a sister store of Tsukiji Soratsuki, a sweet store in Tsukiji Outside Market.
(SARUDONO)
What do they have there?
The first thing you want to pick up is the Strawberry Daifuku!
There are three types:
tsubuan (sweet red bean paste), thick custard, and koshian (sweeter red bean paste).
Isn’t it rare to find strawberry daifuku with custard flavor?
I want to try it!
Here is a trivia about Strawberry Daifuku!
(SARUDONO)
Go ahead!
Strawberry Daifuku was modeled after strawberry shortcake.
It was created in the late Showa period.
There are various theories as to who developed it.
I don’t know who it was, but…
He must be a genius! I’m sure of it!
(SARUDONO)
ｙ、Yes・・・
Sorry.
I was distraught.
The most popular is the Fruit Daifuku!
It is made of carefully selected Gyuhi and filled with a refined white bean paste and fruit.
Each piece is wrapped by hand!
The fruits are seasonal,
such as mandarin oranges, pineapples, LaFrance, persimmons, and figs.
It is only available at the Kamakura store.
I wonder if melons and watermelons will be available in the coming season?
( This is a personal wishful thinking… )
You can’t miss it!
And
You can’t miss the strawberry candy!
Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside.
Shiny and pretty~!
It’s sure to be Instagram-worthy!
Other than that
They also have strawberry soft serve ice cream and smoothies!
There are so many cute strawberry sweets!
You’ll have to make a trip to Kamakura!
I guess so!
