The “Kotoka” Strawberry: A Jewel from Nara
The “Kotoka” strawberry, a premium variety born in Nara Prefecture, is named with the hope of becoming “a flower blooming in the ancient capital of Nara.” Renowned for its high sugar content, intense aroma, and firm texture, “Kotoka” is a rare gem in the market due to its limited cultivation. Fairycake Fair sources these fresh strawberries directly from growers in Asuka Village, Nara, transforming them into these exclusive spring sweets.
A Palette of Pink: Other Spring Sweets
Beyond the butter sandwiches, the collection blossoms with other charming berry-pink treats.
Baked Berry Cupcakes
The “Baked Berry Cupcakes” are a delightful choice for spring gifts. These moist cupcakes are crafted with a generous amount of fermented butter and infused with fragrant freeze-dried strawberries. The fruity tartness of strawberries perfectly balances the richness of the fermented butter, creating a light yet satisfying flavor. Each cupcake is adorned with a sweet-tart strawberry icing, revealing a soft pink hue upon opening the box – a perfect visual treat for White Day, spring gatherings, or even Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) celebrations. A set of five is available for 1,800 yen (tax included).
