Kibana Strawberries

Large, Bright Red Strawberries Grown under the Miyazaki Sun

The Kibana district in the southern part of Miyazaki City is known for its strawberry production. Three varieties are cultivated here: Akihime, Saga Honoka, and Beni Hoppe.

Ripened to a vivid red under Miyazaki’s abundant sunshine, these strawberries are notably large, with many too big to eat in a single bite. Their juicy flesh releases plenty of sweet juice, while their refreshing fragrance fills the mouth.

Careful Cultivation for Delicious Strawberries

Growers in the Kibana district devote considerable time and effort to producing delicious strawberries. One of their practical innovations is the use of elevated growing beds, with the cultivation shelves positioned around waist height. This arrangement makes it easier to tend the plants carefully and helps create an environment in which people can interact closely with the strawberries and the natural surroundings during cultivation.

A Fruit Rich in Vitamins

Strawberries are rich in vitamins. They are also associated with potential health and beauty benefits, including support for the immune system and healthy-looking skin.

Best Season

Kibana strawberries are in season from November through April. Their bright color, generous size, juicy sweetness, and fresh aroma make them a delicious seasonal specialty of southern Miyazaki City.
