おまかせ • THE OMAKASE BERRY
The Berry That Started It All
Years ago, Oishii founders Hiroki Koga and Brendan Somerville quietly introduced the Omakase Berry, hand-delivering small batches to New York City’s elite chefs. Revered for its year-round intoxicating aroma, refined sweetness, and creamy texture, the berry soon appeared on menus in Michelin-starred restaurants.
The Connoisseur Grade Omakase Berry captures the rarefied spirit of those early days, which ultimately redefined what a strawberry could be.
A Culture of Care
Gifting premium fruit is a custom spanning centuries in Japan, rooted in a deep reverence for nature.
Spiritual and Political Origins
Flawless fruit demanded immense labor before modern farming and was offered to Shinto deities or shoguns to express loyalty.
Delectable Treasures
Cherished like jewels, strawberries are today's most coveted gift, especially at Christmas, the height of their storied season.
Agriculture as Art
From hand-pollinating blossoms to individually shielding fruit from the elements, contemporary farmers combine craft with exacting devotion.
There’s ripe… then there’s this.
These berries stay on the vine longer than usual to push them to the furthest edge of flavor intensity, naturally. It’s a slower process, one that places unparalleled quality over quantity.
Remarkably delicate and highly perishable, every berry is hand-selected and carefully delivered with the same consideration it took to grow it.
SMART-FARM-TO-TABLE
Exclusive to the New York Metropolitan Area
Highly sensitive by nature, our Connoisseur Grade berries are unsuited to conventional shipping—a tradeoff we proudly accept in pursuit of unparalleled flavor. Each tray is packed at our Smart Farms in the Garden State and placed in your hands the very same day.
