<Fixed quantity picking and take-home plan> ▼ Introducing the plan ▼ *Rare white strawberry Shinjuhime ** Winner of the Bronze Award at the Tabechoku Strawberry Grand Prix 2025 * Among the Grand Prix-winning varieties, our Shinjuhime is the only white strawberry. We carefully select and grow "Shinjuhime," which is particularly sweet and fragrant among white strawberries. It is the offspring of the "Momo-kaoru" variety, which is famous for its peach scent, and is characterized by a peach flavor and sweetness that makes it hard to believe it is a strawberry. Since "Momo-kaoru" is a pink strawberry, it is no exaggeration to call "Shinjuhime" "pure white peach scent." The skin and seeds are white, so the whiteness stands out even among the varieties called white strawberries. It is characterized by its sweetness and strong fragrance, which can be compared to the nuances of ripe fresh peaches, yellow peaches in syrup, and lychees. Since it is a new variety that has just been born, only three producers nationwide are cultivating it. This is a pick-and-seek strawberry picking, so you can pick your own 150g pack of strawberries. The plan includes the price of picking a 150g pack. ▼About our farm▼★★Ranked #1 in the annual strawberry picking popularity ranking★★ (2022 season, Hokuriku, Koshinetsu area) Karuizawa's winter and spring strawberries are characterized by their melting sweetness.
