The Yokohama Strawberry Festival is open daily from 11:00 – 18:00 from 2/3/17 – 2/12/17. Dina and I decided to check it out on a weekday hoping we would avoid most of the crowds. The Festival was being held in the area of the Red Brick Warehouse.
Upon arriving at the event, there was a perfectly placed strawberry for a photo opportunity.
Of course, we needed to pose for our picture wearing the cute strawberry hat props!
There was also a strawberry bouncy house for littles. Kawaii!
The Festival had ample strawberry treats. Along with several long lines.
There were also strawberry souvenirs. T-shirts, bracelets and helmet!?!
Some of the items were way over priced. 8 strawberries for ¥2000 ($20). Or the picture in the middle, 5 strawberries for ¥3000 ($30)!! The strawberry on the bottom left is ¥800 ($8)!! Wow!
Check out the spread this group of ladies purchased!
Dina and I started with strawberry wine.
And we purchased a few items to take home. So many delicious choices!
The bunnies looked so cute. I was tempted to buy one. Fortunately, the sales clerk spoke very good English and suggested we try the strawberry cake with the triangles. She said it was much better!
So, I picked out the one on the left as per her suggestion.
Cannoli or taco?
I might have over purchased for our desserts tonight.
Or maybe, we skip dinner and eat strawberry desserts! Yummmmmm
