Hamamatsu Strawberry Picking|60 minutes all-you-can-eat! Enjoy spring with Kashima Harvest
The most representative fruit that signals the arrival of spring is strawberries, which turn bright red.
In particular, “strawberry picking” where you can stuff your mouth with freshly picked strawberries is a recommended activity in spring.
In fact, Shizuoka Prefecture is one of the leading strawberry producing areas in Japan. So this time, we visited Kashima Harvest, a recommended strawberry picking spot in Hamamatsu, for an interview.
Hamamatsu Power Food – Visit the birthplace of soft-shelled turtle farming in search of Hamamatsu ingredients that are said to have supported the advancement of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Jenne and her friends go out on location early in the morning.
Ayano Jenne looks very sleepy.
Jenne Okubo then offers hot soup.
“This is actually a soft-shelled turtle soup that is very good for the body.Hamamatsu is actually the birthplace of soft-shelled turtles,” says Jenne Okubo.
When you think of Hamamatsu, you probably think of eel, but in fact, soft-shelled turtle is also famous and has a long history.
On this day, I visited the Hattori Nakamura Tortoise Farm in Magori-cho, Nishi-ku, Hamamatsu City, which is a company that has started full-scale farming of soft-shelled turtles.
It is said that eel was also farmed in the past.
Turtle farm’s soft-shelled turtle
Soft-shelled turtle is a high-quality food ingredient that is said to be good for beauty and health as it contains a lot of collagen and amino acids, but it has a long growing period and takes 3 to 4 years to grow before being shipped, making it difficult to maintain a stable supply.
I had the experience of picking up such a soft-shelled turtle.
Sea Lake Report: Walking the Himekaido Road, Kiga-Mikkabi Edition
I decided to walk down Honsaka-dori (commonly known as Hime-kaido), which has been a side street of the Tokaido since ancient times and has been visited by many travelers.
Last time, I walked from the Amma starting point in Chuo Ward, Hamamatsu City to Kiga-shuku in Hamana Ward.
This time, I would like to continue walking from Kiga-juku to Mikkabi-juku.
The atmosphere is different from the section I walked last time, with cobblestone streets and historic sites scattered throughout.
This is a journey where you can feel the vestiges of the past, when many travelers came and went.
I walked around feeling like a person from the past, so I’ll tell you what it was like.
