Blueberry Picking

It is blueberry season. Let's try to pick bluberries with your children.
We went to
Ogawa Blueberry Farm (小川ブルーベリー園) Map
Charge : Adult 500 yen, Child aged 3 and over 300 yen

How to pick : Find black or purple blueberry, that is ripen and very sweet. And twist it gently to pick, not pull it. You can taste and pick blueberries for about 30 minutes. Each tree has different taste, so I tasted many. My son enjoyed picking, and eating very much.
After picking, you would buy the picked blueberries 1000 yen/ 500g . We picked 830g blueberries, so it was 1660 yen.
If you would like to pick blueberries, you need appointment by phone.

Eating raw blueberry is the best way, but blueberry sauce is also nice. Please try it.

1. Mix blueberry and sugar and wait for 20 minutes.
2. Simmer it for 10 minutes.






















It goes well with ice cream, yoghurt, cheese cake, and bread.
