The show is amazing. In winter and early spring, many coaches are leaving the inner cities and visit small villages in rural areas. Often, the car park, lovely ladies with a fine hat-shaped cutter host, probably the aunts and daughters of peasants requisitioned for the full season. Once off the bus, they get a cup of sweet milk, and locked up for 20 to 30 minutes in vinyl greenhouses. This is the ritual of Ichigo Gari (苺 狩り), or the orgy of strawberries.
The Japanese grow strawberries in greenhouses during the winter. The sun often excellent this period, temperatures are rather mild and allow markets the country to receive, from mid-January, they often tasted delicious fruit in pastry. One of the most popular cake is Ichigo Short (苺 ショートケーキ), a sort of strawberry. Many Japanese believe that the strawberry is the most "cute" fruit, character cutter (莓) is indeed in recent years allowed for the first names and seem to know some success: what's cuter than naming-Ichigo chan her granddaughter.
However, the real fans go to the Ichigo Gari in the campaign. One can indeed privatize its section emissions, about 1 meter per person, carefully delineated by the bailiff to strawberries. These often grow on small artificial terraces on two or three rows. The plants produce fruit continuously throughout the season, and when we tasted strawberries, one can often see more flower stalks. It is not cheap since it often costs about 1800 yen (15 Euro) per person.
The partygoers then have 20 to 30 minutes to destroy the crop, as it fills the belly of these delicious fruits. The author of this blog has eaten a good sixty respectable size. Even with this good Appétit, the entrance fee may seem high. But the strawberries eaten from the tree are much more tasty and sweet as those of trade, as they have ripened on the stem, not in the maze of distribution channels of supermarkets.
fruit enthusiasts can also go to Budogari (ぶどう 狩り grapes will, between August and September), kinokogari (きのこ 狩り, mushrooms at will in the fall), nashigari (梨 狩り pears will between August and November), or miikangari (みかん 狩り, in winter), but these are confidential. The sakuranbogari (さくらんぼ 狩り, cherries will) have more success by cons. We begin to dream with the crisis, some French agrigulteurs organize days "open orchard" in our finest terroirs: apricots and peaches in southern France would make "gari" fabulous.
