About Tochiotome

Tochigi Prefecture is a strawberry kingdom that has maintained the number one strawberry yield for over half a century, and among them, “Tochiotome” is the variety that boasts the highest production volume in Japan. Tochigi Prefecture's proud strawberry brand “Tochiotome” has gained nationwide popularity due to its good balance of sweetness and acidity. It is said that the factors are the fertile land pattern and fresh water of the Kanto Plain, the long hours of sunshine in winter, and the large temperature difference between summer and winter, day and night.

This strawberry, which was registered as a variety in 1996, was born by crossing “Kurume No. 49” and “Tochinomine.” It is truly The Strawberry with its bright red color, large, well-shaped grains, and sweet and juicy juice.

“Tochiotome” is rich in vitamin C and boasts about twice the content of tangerines and grapefruits. It also contains a lot of folic acid, which is a type of B group B, and anthocyanins, which are a type of polyphenol, and it is packed with nutrients that are great for people who care about beauty and health.

Within Tochigi prefecture, many sweets using “Tochiotome” are offered. Desserts that make the most of their sweet and sour taste, such as shortcakes, parfaits, and tarts, are attracting many people. In particular, you can enjoy limited menus using plenty of fresh “Tochiotome” at local cafes and patisseries.

Tea and champagne go well with “Tochiotome” sweets. The rich aroma of black tea and the refreshing froth of champagne further enhance the sweet and sour taste of strawberries, creating a luxurious moment.
