The variety is a first-generation hybrid developed through joint breeding by Japanese research institutes. Its unique feature is the ability to be propagated by seeds, which distinguishes it from traditional vegetative strawberry varieties.

A day-neutral variety characterized by early fruiting and high adaptability to year-round cultivation in protected cultivation. The plant exhibits high disease resistance and is intended for fresh consumption.
