Comment from owner:
Foreign people love this Sahinoka. At the expensive fruit shop deal with
this kind in downtown Tokyo.This kind gives you different taste in cold
season and warm season. In cold winter, this Sachinoka's body getting hard.
Strong flavor shines out in your mouth and has well balance of sweetness
and sourness. Warm season, the body is getting softer and has characteristic flavor. We think this kind is "Prince of strawberry."
