Why not try making jam with freshly picked strawberries? Making jam in a cute workshop is sure to become a special memory.
The west side of Awaji Island: Ayuhara district is a famous strawberry producing area on Awaji Island. Matsumoto, who runs a strawberry farm there, was born in Tokyo and worked as an office worker in Osaka. He was fascinated by the nature and leisurely flow of time on Awaji Island, and moved to Awaji Island. He has an unusual career history, having become a strawberry farmer thanks to his connection with local strawberry farmers. After that, together with Harima, who was his senior in Osaka, he opened Dessert & Confiture Studio Hoshino Kajitsuen, which sells sweets made with strawberries harvested at the farm. It became a sweets shop that was well-known locally. After that, they opened Hoshino Kajitsuen Bloom, an experiential complex with a sweets cafe and an experience workshop, where you can enjoy a relaxed space where you can enjoy the strawberries grown by Matsumoto and the sweets made by Harima.
The craftsmen will teach you everything you need to know about making jam, from the basics, such as the amount of sugar to use relative to the weight of the strawberries and the timing for adding the ingredients.
Along with the jam experience, you can also decorate a cake made by Arima with freshly picked strawberries made by Matsumoto. Afterwards, you can enjoy tea with the decorated cake. You can also purchase cake and drinks separately on-site to enjoy tea.
Enjoy a fun time with friends, family or as a couple.
