Cultivating Japan’s Rare White Strawberry

In Japan, there's a specialty fruit craze sweeping the nation, from square watermelons to grapes the size of Ping-Pong balls. Still, the crown jewel of the luxury fruit basket is the white strawberry, bred to be a whole lot bigger and a whole lot sweeter than its classic red counterpart. We took a tour of Yasuhito Teshima's farm in Karatsu, Japan, to find out why so many people are spending a pretty penny for a taste of these famous white berries.

    Whenever I watch a Japanese farmer, or a chef, or a shokunin creating kimono, or someone tending to a garden, it always seems like there is this all-encompassing focus on the trade and the work at hand. Whether it be a sushi chef or a janitor, every Japanese person whose work I've encountered seems to channel all their concentration and love toward making that work, that one job perfect, no matter how inconsequential others may say it is, or how it affects the time they have to do other things. Can any Japanese citizens in the comments tell me if this is in the national character? I've heard about the single mindedness and perfectionism that's lauded in Japan, but I'd like to hear the truth of it from the horse's mouth :D

    Srionti Maitra All I can say is that I've noticed it too. The Japanese way seems to be to put all your focus and effort into your craft. To do the task until it is complete in every sense. I envy this and strive to be this way.

    Hello, this is a random Japanese girl here. I know nothing about national character, but we've been taught like concentration is really really important. And that goes in general, not only our work. Like when someone is talking to me, when I eat my breakfast, drink a cup of tea, doing absolutely nothing but breathing. (Sometimes people call it meditation, but in my case, is just me concentrating to be as lazy as possible. I need it sometimes!) Please don't judge me if I won't talk much at dinner table, there's some intense multi-concentration going on and I could hardly handle it! XD

    That's a wonderful way of putting it, thank you :) When I'm not talking at the dinner table, it's usually because I'm 'concentrating' on shoveling food down my throat :P But that makes a lot of sense, that concentration on your current work is stressed over the perceived importance of that work - so eating breakfast, and cleaning the house, and breathing, as you said, don't lose or take precedence compared to other things. It's a very intense way to live life to an outsider, I suppose, but deeply admirable. ^_^

    I grow white strawberries in my garden. They taste great. The benefit is that birds leave them alone. I gave my parents white strawberry plants one year. A few years later I was visiting at the time they should be ripening and asked how the strawberries were. They said, "It's the weirdest thing but they never get ripe!" They didn't know they were supposed to be white. So we looked and sure enough, a whole bunch of delicious ripe white strawberries were ready to eat.

    japanese people are very ignorant of the rest of the world... but of course anti-americans think we hold that distinction, because they are a bunch of idiots.

    I had white strawberries once, not the Japanese kind of course, but a friend of grandma gifted her a few of them years ago. They were sweet and tasty.

    Square watermelons came from the need to cram them in a shelf space at the store. Anypne can grow them, there is not 'art' to them, they are not a special' variety. I am also sure that this' white jewel' is not rare. The horticultural field does not need these 'opportunists' in its field. On another note, I have the rare 'Ruby Red' blueberry for sale at only 99.00 US a pound. they actually come from a TREE, and have a ston----I mean 'magic rock' - in the center. For an extra US10 $ I will remove the ste---I mean ' baby Potter wands' , from them. You in??
