There are four varieties of strawberries that from Saitama that will be available: Amarin, Yayoi-Hime, Tochi Otome and Beni Hoppe. The Amarin in particular is extremely rare as it is only grown by a few strawberry farmers. All four varieties of strawberries are grown in the rich and fertile soil of Yoshimi-Town that produces the gorgeous red colour covering the extremely juicy and delightfully juicy flesh of the strawberries.

Besides the fresh strawberries, the Saitama Prefecture will also be launching various strawberry products.
