From Feb. 25 to Mar. 12, Amaou strawberries will be found in cafes and restaurants throughout the city as part of the Amaou Festival. But on Feb. 25 and 26, there will be a special event to kick off the festival! Not only will there be plenty of juicy Amaou strawberries, but other Fukuoka-brand foods will be exhibited and sold at the event (and available for tasting!), such as Genki Tsukushi (rice), Hakata Wagyu (beef), Yame Tea (tea), Fukuoka Nori (seaweed) and oysters. There will be an eat-in section, Fukuoka Cafe de Marche, as well as stage events with musical bands. You can also opt to take one of their workshops (\u00a5200 per person; 30 people max. per class; first-come, first-served) \u2013 such as a class on making amaou daifuku sweets on Feb. 25 and a class on making \u2018cup sushi\u2019 on Feb. 26. Plus, the first 200 guests receive a free Amaou strawberry!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-95317\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest-1024x768.jpg?resize=1024%2C768\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/amaoufest.jpg?w=2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 2\/25 (Sat.) ~ 2\/26 (Sun.)<br \/>\n\u2022 11:00~16:00 (2\/26: 10:00~)<br \/>\n\u2022 Free<br \/>\n\u2022 Fureai Hiroba, Fukuoka City Hall<br \/>\n\u2022 1-8-1 Tenjin, Chuo-ku<br \/>\n\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amaoufestival.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.amaoufestival.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s Amaou season, which means the city\u2019s gone strawberry-crazy!
