The greenhouse was warm and filled with the lovely scent of strawberries. They were sold by weight, and I enjoyed trying small amounts of my favorite varieties. It was fun!
It was 500 yen per 100g.
When I went back to my grandparents' house for a visit, I took my son strawberry picking.
My evaluation criteria might be a bit unusual, but I was expecting them to be slightly less sweet than the Amaou strawberries you buy at the supermarket, but they were about three times sweeter, and some varieties were less acidic. I was incredibly impressed by their deliciousness and sweetness.
They were by far the sweetest strawberries I've ever eaten.
I'll definitely go again when I visit my grandparents' house next time π
The newly renovated Rock Bay Garden.
We went strawberry picking and lunch in April 2023.
It's certainly beautiful, but it's still a work in progress.
Strawberry picking costs 2,000 yen, with small strawberries packed into a given bag. They sell them by weight for 500 yen per 100g. It's probably not for people who want to eat a lot without worrying about the price.
It's a good deal for people who just want to pick and eat about 10 strawberries!
The lunch staff were probably still in training, as they didn't notice us even after calling three times...
The prices seemed a bit high, too.
There was a reservation sign for a corner seat with a great view. As we were discussing whether we could reserve a seat, we were surprised to hear someone from the store start having some kind of meeting. π«’
We're looking forward to seeing what happens next.
ROCK BAY GARDEN has several shops. This time, I went to Biwako Veggie Restaurant mitasu.
I had the Biwako Curry. The rice was shaped like Lake Biwa. The vegetables were delicious, and the curry was tasty, but it was a bit like an overpriced instant curry, which was disappointing. Hmm, 1000 yen... If it's a tourist spot with a great location, then maybe that's the price... Overall, it's a bit pricey. Omi beef, huh?
Well, I guess it's okay.
The terrace seating is dog-friendly and they have a special menu for dogs.
There's also a roadside station next door, so it might be fun to visit.
