イチゴ一会, second round
Remember : at Christmas, strawberries were everywhere thanks to the magic of the Japanese greenhouses. I had been told that this unexpected strawberry-craziness in the middle of winter was "obviously" due to the fact these red, sweet and cute fruits were perfectly matching Christmas' spirit. Well, guess what, it also works for Valentine. So I am going to be tempted by strawberries until at least mid-February - after that I guess that the right season for buying it will start quickly...
A sample of what I see everywhere around me everyday - it's a torture :
As you see, there is a "double image benefit" between strawberries and Valentine...
It's really not appealling to me, but you can also buy "white strawberries". If you had seen the price you would understand why I did not try it. But anyway the normal red ones seem really more tasty.
For a lower budge, let me introduce the top of the top of the combini store : the strawberry sandwich ! Yes, they can !
Our familiar koala has been strawberrized too. For a complete explaination about the meaning of the koala, see Mogusa's blog.
And I can't present all the ice-creams, chocolates, cookies which have fallen for the strawberry-queen...
A third episode of Ichigo Ichie in April, maybe ? With strawberries cultivated under the sun ?...
