Nara's Daibutsu Ichigo: Sweets with Premium Kotoka Strawberries

If you're visiting Nara, this is a must-stop spot! At Daibutsu Ichigo, you can enjoy delectable sweets made with Nara's brand strawberry, Kotoka, which is not distributed outside the prefecture.

One of the top recommendations is the strawberry daifuku, featuring a whole Kotoka strawberry inside! It's topped with an adorable deer-shaped cookie, making it visually delightful as well.

This deer cookie is also used in their "Deer Droppings Soft Serve Ice Cream" 💩.

In addition to strawberry daifuku and soft serve, they also offer seasonal items and smoothies, making it a perfect choice for enjoying Nara's street food scene!

While there is no indoor seating, there are tatami-style benches in front of the shop where you can sit and enjoy your treats.

Located conveniently close to the station, why not pick up some strawberry daifuku or Nara's premium Kotoka strawberries as a souvenir?
