To be fair though, February 10 is not exactly strawberry season. So that blame in part goes to this annoying “nature” dude, who came up with “seasons” and shit just to raise prices.
The general point is true, though. Same with apples right now… you look away one second, they jump from 200 to 400円 each 😐
At least (well, debatable) the fruit don’t shrink away at the same time like all the other goods.
A ton are actually grown in hot-houses in northern Japan as well to support the off-season time.
