The west side of Awaji Island: Ayuhara district is the strawberry producing area famous in Awaji Island. There, strawberry farmer Hoshi no Kajitsuen: Matsumoto-san was born in Tokyo and worked as an office worker in Osaka. He was fascinated by the nature and the slow flow of time on Awaji Island, and moved to Awaji Island. He has an unusual career history, thanks to his connection with local strawberry farmers. After that, together with Harima-san, who was his senior in Osaka, he opened Dessert & Confiture Studio Hoshi no Kajitsuen, which sells sweets made with strawberries picked at the farm. It has become a popular sweets shop in the local area. After that, they opened Hoshinokajitsuen Bloom, an experiential complex with a sweets cafe and experience workshop, where you can enjoy a relaxed space where you can enjoy the strawberries made by Matsumoto and the sweets made by Harima-san. When making confiture, the craftsman will carefully teach you from the beginning, such as the amount of sugar to use for the weight of the strawberries and the timing of adding the ingredients. Along with the confiture experience, you can also decorate a cake made by Arima with the freshly picked strawberries made by Matsumoto. Afterwards, you can have tea with the decorated cake.
