This unique offering is part of a special event that promises to tantalize your taste buds with its stunning presentation and exquisite flavor.

What is White Strawberry?

White strawberries, especially the rare 'Yukizaki' variety, are known for their delicate pink hue, sweet scent, and refreshing juice with very little acidity. These strawberries are not only a visual delight but also a taste sensation, making them a perfect candidate for the indulgence of rich chocolate coating. The appearance of the chocolate-covered white strawberries is sure to captivate anyone, offering both beauty and flavor in every bite.

'Strawberry choco' is a notable venture by MARU Co., Ltd., a company that aims to bring Japan's finest fruits to the global stage.
