Oishii, the company behind the world's largest indoor vertical strawberry farm, launched a limited-edition line of premium strawberry preserves in partnership with Michelin-starred Chef Yuu Shimano. The Daifuku-Inspired Strawberry Spread and the Strawberry Yuzu Preserves are two artisanal jams that both celebrate traditional Japanese flavors and Oishii's Koyo Berries, prized for their sweetness and balanced acidity.
The Daifuku-Inspired Strawberry Spread pays homage to popular mochi cake desserts known as daifuku, and blends berries into a jam with earthy red bean notes, while Strawberry Yuzu Preserves incorporates orange blossom and tart Japanese yuzu to share the essence of summer in a jar.
Both limited-run products can be purchased in the Oishii Preserves Gift Set, offering an elegant way to uplevel pairings like cheese, chocolate and sparkling wine.
