Tochigi Prefecture is one of the leading strawberry producing areas in Japan. We would like to introduce "Koisuru Ichigo," a very cute confectionery using Tochiotomi strawberries produced in Tochigi Prefecture.

Koisuru Ichigo

Strawberries are the main ingredient in this confectionery, which is made from 100% Tochiotomi strawberries grown in Tochigi Prefecture. Tochiotos, characterized by their elegant sweet and sour taste, are freeze-dried and coated with white chocolate. The product is sold by Shizukaze Corporation in Moka City, Tochigi Prefecture.


The shelf life is 120 days. Estimated prices are 648 yen for 5 pieces and 1,296 yen for 10 pieces (tax included). They are available at roadside stations in Tochigi prefecture as well as through mail order.

Before you eat them, take note of the cute strawberry-inspired packaging! The red pulp and green stem are cleverly expressed in a drawstring-like design that ties the top part of the package. It might be good to use it as a small container for small things after you finish eating the contents.


Not only the packaging, but also the "Koisuru Ichigo" itself has a gorgeous visual. The freeze-dried strawberry crumbles when you bite into it, and when you bite into it, it absorbs the moisture in your mouth, making it juicy and sweet. The sweet and sour flavor will remind you of your first love. As the white chocolate melts, it changes to a mild sweetness. In a good sense, the chocolate is not too strong, allowing you to enjoy the strawberry as the main ingredient.


Koisuru Ichigo Premium Series" is also available as a luxurious version of "Koisuru Ichigo". The 2L size Tochiotome strawberries are used. Koisuru Ichigo" can be a reward for yourself, while "Koisuru Ichigo Premium" can be a gift for your loved ones.
