Abstract
The "Fundamental Law of Food and Nurture" was passed in 2005 and shows the importance of considering regional foods and the culture of dietary habits. Our interest is how to promote food education that adopts regional foods in traditional dishes and in cultivating dietary habits. The history of cultivating strawberries in the Naruo region and the changes in strawberry cultivars was therefore studied. Strawberry production grew from the Taisyo to Showa eras in the Naruo region as a subsidiary farming business. Strawberries were recognized as an indispensable seasonal food for residents in the surrounding areas. The kind of strawberry produced in Naruo is specified and there is a growth plan for the future. We will further study documents on how strawberries were eaten and how strawberry products were made in the Taisho era.
