Discover the Wonders of Amarin Strawberry Fair
Starting on April 24, 2026, Oizumi Factory will host an exclusive event called "Amarin Collection" at two of its flagship cafes: 1110 CAFE/BAKERY in Kawaguchi, Saitama, and BROOKS GREENLIT CAFE in Tokyo's Minami Aoyama.
Unveiling Amarin: The Strawberry Enigma
Amarin, a rare strawberry cultivated only by select producers in Saitama, has gained a reputation as the "phantom strawberry" due to its limited distribution outside the prefecture. Known for its exceptional sweetness and mild acidity, Amarin has won top honors at the National Strawberry Championship hosted by the Japan Vegetable Sommelier Association.
The fair aims to spotlight this exquisite local ingredient and share its unique flavors and aromas with a broader audience. Specially curated dishes will allow both residents and visitors to experience Amarin's rich sweetness, whether as a treat for oneself or as a delightful dessert after a meal.
