    The white strawberries I tasted when I was in Japan was really really tasty. It's not the typical sweet sour flavor you get from red strawberries but it really tasted weird but delicious nonetheless. And comparing the aftertaste, the white strawberries doesn't linger as long as the red strawberries and isn't overpowering too. The only flaw was that it emptied my wallet.
