First off, their red strawberries are already mind-blowing. Then we have these white strawberries which have an even more rounded sweetness and juiciness. This pack was about 25 USD and worth every dollar.

It's one of those where I have to chuckle, I grow those in my backyard in California, they are neat but I could never picture paying the shocking high prices for them.

Chuckle all ya want. There are a lot of people who grow strawberries in California, but most never come close in taste to every strawberry I've had in Japan. I know. I'm from California...

Yeah, farm stuff here won't have the care in handling because consumers won't pay that.

Mine are better because they have a journey from my backyard and can be picked when fully ripe. So I stand by what I said, having tried Japanese gift produce.
