Kumamoto Kikuchi no Manma Hinoshizuku Strawberry are a rare breed grown only in the Kumamoto prefecture, most specifically the Kikuchi region where nature is lush and water, claimed as one of the 100 best in Japan, runs crystal clear. Its exclusivity comes from the limited numbers per seasonal harvest.
Kumamoto Kikuchi no Manma Hinoshizuku Strawberry are distinguishable by the short stem, leafy top and intensely rouge shade. They're sizeable too an ideal archetype of a ruby-red Strawberry, rounded and plump at the top then tapering to a pointed bottom. Marked as a size 4L, which is berry talk for anything over 28g, they have been compared in size to a ping-pong ball or large egg, which is fairer comprasion since they're very delicate to handle.
When it come to taste, the Kikuchi no Mamma Hinoshizku are a premium sort. Nothing likes the one you'd get at the supermarket. They're firm in texture with a meaty bite, and the sweetness level, measured at the very tip of the berry, emphasising its light floral notes, rich sweetness and very mild acidity
