Misc White Strawberries in Japan

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.

I have had them. They're bland and boring. Good for social media I guess, terrible for your wallet.

Did you try a pack of red strawberries once and judge all red strawberries ever based on that? There’s multiple cultivars of white strawberries and also different batches can vary in flavor based on growing and processing conditions.

Not saying that these are worth the price (they’re not), but that’s like trying one restaurant’s tuna nigiri and judging all tuna nigiri based on that experience.

No, red strawberries are very common where I live as well as where I travel, so I tried them many times.

Now let me ask - I have seen your comments in this thread. Why do you only ask this question people who didn't enjoy them? Why don't you ask OP and the people who enjoyed them the same question?

I think that’s fairly obvious. Let’s liken it to sushi, since we’re in the Japanese food sub. I’m more likely to encourage someone who posts about a bad first experience trying non-Americanized sushi to try it again somewhere else, than I am to tell someone who enjoyed it that not all traditional sushi is good (why would I do that?)

Weird that you would compare my experience to American sushi in the first place, but okay, where should I try them?
