We try $40 Japanese white strawberries for the first time in our lives. How are they going to taste? Worth the $40? Find out in this week's video!

[@martinnguyen5690]

0.0 thats like ten of my school lunches

[@ampersand.8888]

Simon and Martina For $40.00 (CAD, I presume) those strawberries should self dip itself into white or dark chocolate.

[@christineverreault9325]

Simon and Martina I think it be a great idea if you guys do another video of different fruits when fruit season in Japan to see what kind of fruits they have compared to fruits what we have in Canada.

[@eatyourkimchi]

It should also do my taxes and drive me to the subway station.

[@bln5944]

Simon and Martina maybe it will turn red in time hahahaha

[@Rozencraft]

Sorry to tell you this but those strawberries were actually a "cheap" rip off that's why it tasted bad. The good ones are way bigger and come in packages of 1. They are called shiroi houseki. They also taste kinda pinnaple ish but are really sweet and also taste like strawberry and not mushy at all. I think Only in japan channel made a video on that if you want to see more in depth what I mean.

[@sophiayamagughi]

oh shit really?

[@peanutbutter7357]

they have to go to a specific supplier, a friend from college went last year and said he spent alot on 1 strawberry, its got its own packaging too

[@kuciksteadymelody8375]

Ohh man.. thanks for the info.

[@unionfire]

There are even ''cheap'' rip offs for expensive fruit, wow, great... XD

[@AtnSnow]

I did not know that. Thank you for the info.

[@neellie9474]

I'm so glad for this video. I heard of white Japanese strawberries before and really really wanted to try them, at a point that it bothered me so much that I might die without ever trying one. But now, I'm okay. So thanks Martina and Simon! Please continue these fruit videos. It's fun.

[@bethania.aquino]

Ellie Lannister they're supouse to teste like pinaple it's sad that the box that they bought didn't taste good, but Still I think they're ecpensive, better try pinaple and normal strawberries

[@daffo595]

I've tried white strawberries before, and they tasted amazing. Idk what version simon and martina tried.

[@lilsavage1606]

Ellie Lannister grow them

[@eatyourkimchi]

Thank you to all you wonderful people helping out with subtitles and translations, including +Nicoll Joshua Paatan for the English subs, +ilovetamago for the Japanese subs, +Kuping Gepeng for the Indonesian subs, +Daniela Angulo Alvarez for the Latin American subtitles, +Alicia Leclercq for the French subtitles, +marsto26 for the Norwegian subtitles, and +Mariela De Lucas for the Spanish subtitles.

[@eridaniaguzman8863]

Simon and Martina is this the first comment for this comment that you made

[@tonimeow3071]

Yes, more fruits please! I personally like peaches and strawberries the most, :p

[@plushieangela]

Simon and Martina where did you get that cute tshirt Martina? I'd love to find myself one 🎀💖

[@jjq3574]

Yes please more fruit

[@demonkingkaze3720]

Simon and Martina more fruit please

[@WaoryuONLYinJAPAN]

Totally worth it :) there are several varieties of White Strawberries in Japan . My fav is the "SHIROI HOUSEKI" or white jewel (☝︎ ՞ਊ ՞)☝︎ its HUGE! -John

[@cankechan]

ONLY in JAPAN woooo I just see your video about that. It was awesome

[@mafatimadechavez6276]

ONLY in JAPAN you have great documentaries about lots of things!

[@uyenvu5568]

I saw some girl on KZbin and she bought a SINGLE strawberry for like $10. She compared it to the cheapest one and it still tasted like shit. lol i forgot her name

[@ToGather]

krist yu?

[@user-ex6wx6xb5d]

[@perezisa]

Martina: this taste awful! *eats it anyways because they were too expensive*

[@johnsmith2875]

Isabella Pérez my life

[@noahwayne7095]

well, its not good to waste food

[@perezisa]

noah wayne my mom always told me that "there are kids that don't have anything to eat" so I always eat everything

[@noahwayne7095]

Isabella Pérez exactly, children are starving all over the world, wasting food is awful

[@Lusithane]

That did make me feel guilty, but it didn't stop me from saying "Well then you can go give it to them!"

[@lynnebass2495]

They just look like unripe strawberries...

[@alexchrollo]

Valuable Lesson Learned

[@lynnebass2495]

A1 I assume some people like the taste though

[@choko9570]

Hum.... I think there's a variety of strawberry, white and with a special taste but these seem just to be unripe...

[@m00k00m00k00]

That's what I thought, too. Maybe you give somebody these strawberries as a gift so they can watch these white ones turn "magically" red. Maybe these ones Martina and Simon ate would taste like a rainbow.

[@katherinec1003]

I know there are white alpine strawberries - they're tiny though. Like wild strawberries.

[@teresasimpson5143]

Maybe its just that Im American, but a white strawberry doesnt even look appetizing. Please yes. do more fruit tastings for us.

[@gosick442]

Teresa Simpson Maybe it's just you

[@censusgary]

You know how white chocolate is chocolate with the color and flavor removed? The same thing is true about a lot of white fruits-- fruit minus the flavor and color.

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

It looks a bit iffy to me too.

[@rxyangl]

Gary Cooper White chocolate is not chocolate with the color removed. It is made from cocoa butter which is a by product of the cocoa bean which means there is no cocoa powder in white chocolate.

[@sarahkyoon]

Teresa Simpson someone else tried them and said it tasted like pineapple/strawberry and said it was good

[@back2s0ul]

"The darker the berry, the sweeter the juice."

[@thebooknight]

back2s0ul I don't think black berries are very sweet

[@Lunaticgirly]

The Book Night I think this was meant sexually

[@thebooknight]

Lunaticgirly I was trolling lol

[@desireeloveros1055]

"I could say it ain't so but Darling what's the use?"

[@yeontanssugadaddy]

@@thebooknight come to the Pacific northwest. We have them growing wild and they are super sweet when ripe.

[@colinbuckley5393]

I should be writing a paper for finals, but here I am.

[@eatyourkimchi]

You could also be writing a paper about strawberries. Boom! Two birds with one stone :D

[@mollybritt8933]

that was beautiful

[@TheLoreGeek]

But do two birds go boom when you hit them with one stone? :o

[@MyKoreanHusband]

You definitely need to come back to Korea to eat some free strawberries! Hugh's parents are sending them to us from the farm. They are super sweet right now.

[@eatyourkimchi]

SEND THEM TO JAPAN!!!

[@user-pk8hk5nn2e]

Korea's strawberries are stolen ones from Japan

[@yohji538]

Japan’s strawberry varieties have recently been taken to South Korea without permission, taking away domestic producers’ export opportunities and causing maximum losses of 22 billion yen in the last five years, an estimate by the Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry Ministry has revealed.

[@sugoi14]

lmao "SLOW DOWN GURL DATS $5!" best line of the year haha!

[@deeprose4]

I'm in the uk, and we have cotton candy flavoured grapes, tropical flavoured grapes and strawberry flavoured grapes.

[@SafiraAdani]

deeprose4 yeah I remember I saw a UK KZbinr rave about that Cotton Candy Grape 😆

[@deeprose4]

Noor A. They really do! I love them

[@mickeyme85]

I'm from Singapore and my sister bought cotton candy grapes back from London. My mind was blown away cause it's sooooooo amazing!!!! I finished the whole pack myself (totally not guilty).

[@rhi1989]

We do? Where?

[@desireerobitaille9470]

Caitlin Edwards Mark & Spencers has them. :)

[@crystallle2283]

I love you guys, you really are wonderful human beings. I just wanted to say you are very much appreciated. Sending lots of positive energy your way.

[@eatyourkimchi]

[@catswillrue]

I hear Japan has the best tasting grapes so I would totally love a video on that!!! One thing I know for sure is... Japanese grape flavored candy is 100% better than American Grape candy because whenever there's grape flavored American candy, I know it's just going to taste like purple. BUT whenever there's a variety of Japanese candies I always go for the grape because it tastes like actual fruit

[@eatyourkimchi]

Also, NOTIFICATION SQUAD! What's your favourite fruit?

[@laralou3042]

Simon and Martina peaches

[@paigesteffen7463]

[@melissamei6439]

Also, my dad said that in Japan, there are some strawberry greenhouses that, when the strawberry season comes, u can pay to enter (and its extremely cheap) and eat all the strawberries u want

[@eatyourkimchi]

OMG WHERE IS THIS I MUST GOOOOO!!!

[@TerrellHarkness]

Simon and Martina They have them down here in southern Japan. There is a trip to a strawberry farm where you pay and eat whatever you want. Then you can buy some to take home.

[@stanstantalent.5605]

Melissa Mei I saw a video on that too, at the time I didn't know about it and kept wondering why the woman kept picking and eating endless amounts of strawberries.😂

[@TerrellHarkness]

Here is one near Hiroshima: www.marumero.com/

[@Darumainu]

I went to one when I visited Japan during a school trip! 😭 it was the best. I miss non sour strawberries.

[@veryangryprojectilepotato4304]

Try cheap chocolate vs expensive chocolate!!!!

[@CappuccinoLover101]

VeryAngryProjectilePotato yesssss

[@neellie9474]

Omg, YES! Good suggestions.

[@Tingling10]

The only expensive chocolate that I had tasted was Lint Liqour chocolates, and those are expensive varying different shops.

[@Confuqued]

Is it weird that I like when you guys film at home? I just feel comfort knowing that you guys are in the comfort of your own home.

[@tigersarecoolie]

I took a sociology class in high school and we did a unit on Japanese culture. I remember learning about ridiculously expensive fruits being sold. The Japanese have this idea of a "perfect fruit" like there is one "right" way for a fruit to look and appear. They are beautiful like in roundness and color and whatnot ("man made") but they do not taste good because they were plucked out before it was time for them to go. (i'm not saying this white strawberry is their ideal strawberry though -maybe more of fleeting beauty) But yeah, these fruits serve as gifts since Japan is big on gift-giving. Japan is more into the idea of fleeting, temporary beauty (tsunami, cherry blossoms) than permanent beauty. Closest example in Western terms would be like flowers. Flowers are beautiful at the moment but they die not long afterwards so why give them flowers when we know they're going to die?? bc they're pretty for the time being and that's what makes them beautiful in the eyes of Japanese culture -- their beauty is not permanent

[@eatyourkimchi]

+tigersarecoolie that's super fascinating! Thank you for the explanation :)

[@hellobriannamichelle]

tigersarecoolie ! That explains the "perfect fruit" in Animal Crossing New Leaf. 😮 Always wondered.

[@manicmuffin]

It is a philosophy called "mono no aware."

[@tigersarecoolie]

I'm not sure if all of my comment showed so here's the part that YT "crossed out": ... (i'm not saying this white strawberry is their ideal strawberry though maybe more of fleeting beauty) But yeah, these fruits serve as gifts since Japan is big on gift-giving.

[@musiclover4ever2000]

The white strawberries are hybrid strawberries from a combination of pineapple and a strawberry. It's not supposed to taste like a strawberry, but looks like one. smells like a pineapple and tastes like a pineapple.

[@XxDiamondXTearsxX]

Lmao American strawberries taste like sour water

[@MisaShowz]

the question is, where r u getting these super sweet strawberries I would like plz

[@XxDiamondXTearsxX]

Misa Showz haha yess

[@khricket]

You have a bad palate. I've gotten strawberries from so many different places and theyre crap. Only time i get them is when they are local (im not in the us though im in ontario.)

[@peacelovemorgy]

OMFG THIS IS SO ACCURATE

[@peacelovemorgy]

NEVER BUY DRISCOLLS

[@andreasanchez2140]

Maybe you guys bought pineberries? They're crossbred with pineapple.

[@jordynboyd2900]

They're actually a cross between a Chilean strawberry and a North American strawberry. ^_^

[@RAWRsynchro]

Andrea Sanchez pineberries are really small though...

[@pipertye2882]

Andrea Sanchez no in Japan they've got White Strawberries, which aren't grown naturally. They are grown through science.

[@michelleong3131]

Theyre pineapple strawberries its a wierd hybrid they made XD lol

[@taetm8868]

I think i seen those on a weird hybrid fruit video

[@michelleong3131]

Ramen Noodle Slurper Meh tooo!😀

[@Takemysenf]

Had a bad day, found out I have arthrosis, in lots of pain. Came here, watched your colourful vid, remembered your story, feeling soothed now. Love you guys. Just love you.

[@professorm4171]

Huh? Strawberry season is spring and summer.

[@eatyourkimchi]

Not in Japan.

[@professorm4171]

For out doors strawberries, it's May-June. You got indoor greenhouse strawberries. www.japan-talk.com/jt/new/ichigo

[@DocJackJungle]

In Italy it's May-June too. I think strawberries need warm weather to grow properly, so It's weird that their season is in winter. Btw when I see a partially white strawberry I don't eat it, 'cause I already know that it has a bad taste, no wonder those full white strawberry were awful.

[@mm-yv7xb]

Nope. strawberry season is winter to spring. We are in strawberry season. I live in Korea though

[@tvtoms]

Thank you for pointing this out. I wanted to say that just because you CAN purchase strawberries in all seasons of the year in many supermarkets does NOT mean there is no strawberry season! What it does mean is that you cannot rely on what you see in a supermarket to know if something is in season or not. You would want to learn the "in season" items from a farmers market, growing it yourself, or learn it from a book. There is most definitely a strawberry season and just know that when you buy "fresh" berries in winter, you are buying imported berries, or hydroponically grown berries, or you live down under.

[@nurulnashyira1189]

YES pls do another vid on other fruits depending on seasons... I would really like to see you guys try more expensive fruits

[@jasminejbenavides9656]

In Chile there is a fruit and vegetable market where you can get 1kilo of strawberries would cost about 1,000 pesos which is about $1.50

[@eatyourkimchi]

That sounds AMAZING!

[@mariaangeleshz]

Hey guys!! Here in Chile, we also have times of the year where certain fruits and vegetables are produced, depending on the climate and the area where you are (whether north or south). For example I am from the south, right now we are finishing the spring and we have available strawberries that come from the north of where I live (central Chile), so they are a bit more expensive (about 3USD per 500g in supermarkets or 1USD in local markets or "Ferias" for the same amount of fruit). In full strawberry season, prices may even be lower if they are produced in the same area where you live. On the taste, here the strawberries are sweet, but with a slight acid flavor that characterizes them. We also have native white strawberries, they are much smaller than those you show in the video, and on the taste they are more flat, but very aromatic. Sorry if my English isn't very good!! love you guys! :)

[@melindam6756]

my mother is a florist and she got these white strawberry seeds and we planted them. actually if you eat them at the right time they taste really good. like a mix of strawberry and pineapple.

[@jayfeatherstick]

Dip them in chocolate so maybe they'll taste better!

[@jayfeatherstick]

Also Martina I love your nails!

[@eatyourkimchi]

I mean, that's cheating right?

[@eatyourkimchi]

You can say that for about everything tho :D

[@jayfeatherstick]

Simon and Martina that's truuuue chocolate makes almost everything better 😂

[@eyup26]

with most expensive chocolate:D

[@GCLU]

Hey Simon/Martina, they are known as Pineberries.

[@CrimsonSora]

KoRo? Maybe they should be called lameberries

[@smmootoo18]

[@lucstockdale]

They look really cute. They probably would be great for making decorative food platters or having on cake, even though you wouldn't want to eat it.

I like how you guys are so honest with food unlike the food channels where they go this is good to everything

[@katiekawaii]

Yes! Do every fruit season!

[@sheenavalencia0708]

Have u tried the Japanese box watermelon? The square one? I heard it's quite expensive as well.... and don't Japan have that very expensive citrus fruit also? Hope u guys try those ones out too.... coz u guys give honest opinions... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@FreosChae]

sheena valencia i think the square watermelon is not meant to be eaten. At least thats what i read and watched about lol. Could be wrong :> theyre supposedly grown for decoration purposes i think. They're expensive cuz they're difficult to grow, just like these white strawberries. Reminds me of blue roses. You can't grow them organically (not that I know of at least) so they've been given the meaning of unattainable and mysterious~

[@kuroshin1014]

sheena valencia Square watermelon is unripe and can last for months so it is definitely a decoration.

[@sora1060]

YOU SHOULD TRY THE MELONS THAT ARE OVER $100

[@eatyourkimchi]

[@danielaramirez5552]

[@jaz7526]

I bought a package of 6 white strawberries in Nara (Japan) 4 weeks ago for 600 Yen and they were unbelievably delicious. The best strawberries I have ever had in my life. I am not sure what you are talking about.

[@sarabarelyhugs4732]

I've always heard that fruit is picked then frozen so it stays fresher, longer. that's why we're always able to have fruit all year-round, no matter if it's in season or not.

[@triggahappyyt5420]

i think that was the pineberry not the sweeter white strawberry that is much larger

[@juandenz2008]

Aren't pineberries and white strawberries the same thing ? Some expert on strawberry cultivars please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@CartB0X]

juandenz2008 they were pineberries, pineberries have a kind of pineapple taste and smell, they can be very sweet but id say theirs were just not the best. you can also get alpine berries which are white strawberries but I'm prettt sure they dont have the pineapple taste

[@elicia2155]

Whats a pineberry

[@CartB0X]

Elizia it's a type of white strawberry, sometimes can be a slight pinkish colour and has res seeds, it has a slight pineapple smell and taste, they're not a mutation

[@karinavt95]

lol here in California i cringe at $3 strawberries and i live in an area where we have the most produce.

[@ihatesnakeu7472]

I know right. I live in California too and for me strawberries have a bitter like taste.

[@BoyAditya]

white strawberries are kinda like square watermelons .. just cosmetics

[@Satopi3104]

Hey guys so just so you know the normal strawberries you got are the tochiotome brand and they are known for being the most acidic of the brand name strawberries in Japan and are meant to have that tartness. Other strawberries like Amaou are much sweeter, in case you like super sweet strawberries.

[@MsJLOVEZ]

Yes, strawberries are all year around in Canada, but local outdoor field grown strawberries are only available in June/July, and they taste fabulous!

[@kaylalim9962]

[@Larissacoriell]

When I was a little girl, my grandmother could never figure out why she had so few strawberries out of her strawberry patch. Apparently she never saw me sit down in the middle of it, and eat everything within reach before getting up and moving to a new spot. Nothing beats strawberries warm from the sun that you just picked.

[@koolqeee]

As someone with marketing experience for major retail supermarkets, I can confirm that placing crazy high price on fruits is a marketing technique to appeal to customers seeking "premium" products when in reality it's nothing THAT special. But there are some amazinggg premium fruits out there :)

[@user-tl2my8iu1r]

白イチゴは作成にかなりお金が掛かるし一応あれで食べられるってことで珍しいから高いんだよ 確かに普通のイチゴの方が美味しいと思う... A white strawberry is expensive because it costs a lot of money and it is unusual to be able to eat it at the time, so it's expensive I certainly think that ordinary strawberries are delicious ...

[@SageStupidity]

when i was in high school, i had to do a project on strawberries. i learned about those strawberries. they are supposed to taste like a combo of strawberry and pineapple... sounds like it tastes the way it's supposed to

[@misslynda82]

"Slow down girl, it's five dollars!" lmao! You guys are awesome

[@AdrianaMVPrayerPodcastShow]

Oh another thing the reason why white strawberries tasty aweful is because colour of certain fruits can actually tell you their flavours and sweetness or bitterness, for example clear yellow bananas have a very week tasteless flavour where in as if you buy a banana where the skin is nearly all doted with black and it looks like the banana has gonne bad means that the banana is actually at it's best quality and super sweet, red banana's are awesome when you fry them, we also got tiny bananas that are called apple banana cause they taste like banana mixed with apple, super red strawberries are super juicy and sweet, white lighted red strawberries are a bit sour and tasteless. Red orange is super sweet so sweet that I don't really like so I prefer super orange orange lol I mean when orange has a very strong orange colour lol and that's perfect to make juices, lime has a stronger sour taste than lemon which has kind of week bitter taste.

[@AdrianaMVPrayerPodcastShow]

I am not an expert or anything but I realized the differences on flavours when I lived in Ireland where all the fruits where imported, so yeah alot of fruits don't taste like whats suppose to taste do to the products they put on them for them to last or when imported so it will be better if you find a farm in Japan where you can buy your fruits and vegetables cause they won't have as many products on them or find a farm that is 100% organic

[@MoonsKitsune]

Please do more videos on ridiculously priced produce! Also, when strawberries are on season you can usually get a full container that is on sale for buy one get one free for about $5. They get more expensive out of season so I do say $7 is probably the highest it will go.

[@ayattmusid1289]

Yes more videos of fruits! Honestly anything you two put up is always a pleasure to watch!

[@artsy__heart7972]

slow down girl that's $5 I laughed so hard xD

[@AkwarT]

$40 White Strawberries remind me of $48 Mangoes lol I tease I tease XP

[@eatyourkimchi]

Ah, you remember that story as well :D

[@AkwarT]

Simon and Martina Who wouldn't? lol anyways I hope you are all having a good night :P

[@angytako8292]

Simon and Martina Idk if you already know, but apparently white strawberries are deemed as very sweet and rich to the Japanese. Many of them say that the reason it is expensive is because of how the strawberries are cross-breeded traditionally and not genetically modified. I did a mini research on this a long time ago and I remember it. When I was younger, I was excited to try these. But now I am a little hesitant :/

[@talpa47]

oohh, i 'member the blind fruit taste challenge you did in korea!

[@eatyourkimchi]

That was a while ago :D

[@BiteOfTwilight]

We also have strawberry season in my country but they actually get cheaper to buy! Like in April you would get a giant box for 3 dollars and in December a small box for 7 dollars. The season ones are always a lot tastier!

[@batyalampert5445]

Just came back to watch this video again and noticed Martina's makeup is so pretty😍

[@rebeccaelizabeth8362]

I wish strawberries came individually so you wouldn't have to waste so much money on it

[@momokun90]

rebecca elizabeth Agreed. That was rather sad, spending a lot of money for something disappointing

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

The bigger ones do. I believe it is $10 for one large white strawberry, but it is supposed to taste good plus you're still saving $30 if it doesn't.

[@AndreVS]

I thought that just like the square watermelon they were just for decoration

[@KTRN52]

strawberry version of the emperor's new clothes.

[@quicksilver8122]

if its mushy its over watered. Usually you want to harvest strawberries after they get a little bit of frost. makes them sweeter

[@maditouille6847]

strawberry season in California is summer, late May to Mid August or so. and you can typically get a pint for $1. the best ones are from the farmers market but even those are only about $4 for a pint (1 pound)

I would absolutely love to see videos about fruits that come out during the different seasons in japan

Suckered Apparel I guess

This was almost physically painful to watch.

If you said it was a gift they'd probably add a bow, then charge you even more.

"WE HAVE BEEN DESIVED, MY DUCK!" IM CRYING😂😂😂😂

In the Netherlands they are called the pineberrie! Pineapple + strawberry. They're smaller, a whole lot cheaper, and actually taste pretty good! :)

How is it strawberry season in december? I assume they're grown in greenhouses then?

[@littlepix101]

strawberry season is winter here in Israel, too. But our winter is not really cold- like 8-20 degrees centigrade...

[@limelyx]

I was under the impression that Japan gets way colder though. Here Strawberries are only in season during summer with 15-25 C.. :)

[@NoeruRagun]

A quick google-search gave me those infos: "... and they are available almost anytime throughout the year, although the best season is from January to March." I'm also used to Stawberries in summer (I'm from Germany...) and as far as I know (at least from staying a year in Korea...), the coldest month is around february... I thought it was kinda similar in Japan. Strange....

[@limelyx]

Sabrina Yeah, I find it very surprising :)

[@littlepix101]

That actually makes sense- I also figure Japan is colder. Google says 5c-ish

[@lloidberg]

Please have some melons from Hokkaido. They are heaven

[@eatyourkimchi]

OH WOW! I'd love to try those out :D

[@lloidberg]

Simon and Martina you guy should also try pure jelly melon fruit cups :p I used to have one pretty much everyday when I was living in Sapporo

[@matthewreyes5082]

I'll NEVER eat white strawberries ever again! I'm just gonna eat regular strawberries and blended with milk.

[@fruityfroot4413]

Usually white strawberries here are marketed as pineapple strawberries or pineberries, so that makes more sense as to the taste and you kinda know what you're in for.
