Founder and editor in chief of KDHamptons, Kelli Delaney Kot, has tons of party tricks up her sleeve but her favorite one of the summer has been Oishii Strawberries! Not only did the berries make a star-appearance at the LUX Lifestyle Books, Bubbly and Blooms party but they stole the show again this past weekend at the LUX Lifestyle Hot List Event.

At the LUX Lifestyle Hot List Event, Oishii strawberries were served at the Fresh Direct Farm Stand as well as by Dafna Mizrahi, founder of Curamia Tequila. The berries have taken over Tiktok, Instagram, and are stocked in every fancy refrigerator we know. Imagine if you could get a box of guaranteed perfect strawberries delivered straight to your front door? Oishii’s Omakase Berry has entered the chat. Originating in Japan, where flavor comes first, Oishii is the world’s largest indoor vertical strawberry farm, aimed at striving to introduce Japanese fruit culture to the US. Traditionally in Japan, fresh, clean, delicious fruit means there is a special occasion to celebrate, so of course KDHamptons will be serving them at our upcoming gorgeous garden party with LUX magazine and Bedside Reading. Both the Omakase Berry and the Koyo Berry will be on our VIP guest list!

The name Omakase Berry comes from the traditional dining philosophy of Omakase, “I leave it up to you,” where a diner entrusts a chef to serve them something great. The refreshing, bright Koyo Berry means “elated” in Japanese. It’s a smile with every bite.

Growing up in Japan, Hiroki Koga, Oishii Co-Founder and CEO, was Inspired to share the Japanese strawberry experience with the world, he brought Omakase Berry seeds from the Japanese Alps to New York, establishing the first indoor vertical strawberry farm in the U.S.A. The Koyo Berry was next on the list, offering a delicious and refreshing berry originating just outside Tokyo. They’re a match made in heaven.

Vertical farming, the new frontier of agriculture, grants the freedom to grow fresh fruit year-round. Oishii brings technology and nature into harmony – soft rain, mild heat, warm light, and buzzing bees. They replicate the elements of a perfect day in Japan. You can taste it in every berry: an intense yet delicate sweetness unlike any other.
