The impetus for this collaboration
Maaco Co., Ltd. CEO Tomoyuki Aoyama (left) and Hotel Associa Toyohashi confectionery chef Nobutaka Furuta (right)
From the Atsumi Peninsula Tourism Bureau, we would like to inform you about the “Strawberry Road Strawberry Festival”, which is co-sponsored by Toyokawa City and Gamagori City.
Hotel Associa Toyohashi also participated in the drive stamp rally. At the press product presentation held at the hotel on that occasion, we listened to stories from participating restaurants and farmers, and spoke to the confectionery chef.
Furuta focused on “strawberries whose sugar content increases by using hot spring water for cultivation.” We visited Maaco Co., Ltd. and learned more about Maaco’s thoughts on delivering delicious strawberries and their commitment to strawberry cultivation, and told us that they want to create original sweets that bring out the flavor of the original ingredients of “Strawberry Happiness.” Furuta’s strong feelings led to the collaboration.
About “Strawberry Road Ichigo Ichie” We also have “strawberry sweets” that make you feel like spring! Strawberry tartlets *”Strawberry Happiness” is not used.
