All You Can Eat Strawberries In Japan

Oops I did it again.

I went strawberry “picking” at Nishiyama Farm which is actually an All You Can Eat (40 minute) strawberry buffet, if you will. And it was just as good as the first time. So many sweet and humongous, seriously these things were the size of my fists, strawberries. Yum yum yum. I highly recommend you go. The 1800yen is SO worth it. And, you get to wear a ridiculous hat (if you like) for hilarious Instagram opportunities! Oh! And and and, it’s so warm in the glasshouses that you’ll forget it’s winter or that it’s snowing all together! Hashtagonlyinjapan.

strawberry buffet

My friend Hannah and I (yes, I’ve made a friend!) went “strawberry picking” in Okayama today. To our surprise, it wasn’t strawberry picking as we’d previously experienced! We were given a plastic container/plate with two compartments. One was filled with condensed milk and the other empty, for strawberry leafs/tops. In other words, this was not PYO strawberries to take away and enjoy later but instead, we were given 50 minutes to eat as many strawberries as we could handle for the price of 1800 yen – a kind of strawberry buffet, if you will. And OH MAN, was the tummy ache worth it! On our way out, we were given a pamphlet advertising peach and grape picking/eating available from mid July which shall no doubt be featuring on iaccidentlyatethewholefarm. What fun!

NZ, why you so beaut?!

Forget Paris, Audrey. Akaroa is always a good idea. (Especially when organic strawberries and peaches, classic Kiwiana ‘fush and chips’ and Kapiti Black Doris plum and creme fraiche ice-cream are present.) What about you? What’s your favourite Summer indulgence? X
