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.

Highlights of the Fair

1110 CAFE/BAKERY Offerings

1. AMARIN AN BLISS Open Sandwich
- Price: ¥880 (tax included)
This lavish open sandwich features country-style bread fermented with flower yeast, topped with coconut soy milk cream, organic sweet bean paste, and, of course, Amarin strawberries. Adorned with edible flowers from Yokoyama Farm—which are not widely available in the market—each bite offers a delightful fusion of traditional flavors and fresh sweetness, creating a truly experiential dessert.

2. Amarin Fermented Soda
- Price: ¥700 (tax included)
This refreshing beverage combines the fermented sparkling tea, _SHIP KOMBUCHA, with a homemade syrup made from Amarin. The vibrant flavor profile is achieved by mixing just before consuming, blending the natural mild acidity of fermentation with the luxurious sweetness of Amarin. A hint of lime adds a pleasant fragrance.

BROOKS GREENLIT CAFE Highlight

1. THE Amarin Smoothie
- Price: ¥2,000 (tax included)
Limited to 10 servings per day, this indulgent smoothie showcases abundant Amarin combined with _SHIP KOMBUCHA. The deep sweetness harmonizes with refreshing acidity, transforming into a creamy texture when mixed with soy milk cream.

2. THE Amarin BOWL
- Price: ¥3,000 (tax included)
With only 5 servings available daily, this dessert bowl is a visual delight featuring Amarin arranged beautifully like a large flower. The lavish sweetness from Amarin, the creaminess of soy milk, and the crunch of fermented granola make it a satisfying treat that keeps you coming back for more.
