Did you know Japan has over 300 strawberry varieties? Many associate strawberry with summer but in Japan is a winter harvest and is treated same a vegetable from agriculture point of view. Farmers use "forcing culture" technique, where over 90% of Japan's strawberries are cultivated in heated greenhouses, allowing harvests from late November to June. https://paragraph.xyz/editor/uCFNZ4IHhHyYiO9PFfnT

Introduced from Holland during the Edo period, strawberries became widely cultivated in Japan during the Meiji era. Today, Japan produces 159,000 tons annually and export mostly in Asian countries, with 148 registered varieties.
