A new strawberry cultivar, 'Hanakagari', was developed at the Gifu Prefectural Agricultural Technology Center in 2007. This cultivar was selected from a cross between 'Mino-Musume' and an intermediate parental line '9-2-3'. In 2015, the developers applied for a plant variety registration under the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), and 'Hanakagari' was published as a provisional protected variety. On the basis of the PVP seed act, 'Hanakagari' was granted the registration number 26286 on October 24, 2017. The growth form of 'Hanakagari' is between upright and spreading, and the plant is vigorous. Although the flower number is fewer than that in 'Mino-Musume', the yield and fruit size are higher. 'Hanakagari' has no resistance to anthracnose, fusarium wilt, and powdery mildew. The harvest season of 'Hanakagari' is earlier than that of 'Mino-Musume', in early December. The fruit weight of 'Hanakagari' is on average 20.8 g and is considered large; therefore, several extremely heavy fruits are produced. 'Hanakagari' has few irregular or malformed fruits; thus, the fruit quality is high. The fruit hardness is the same as that of 'Mino-Musume'. The fruit skin is red and glossy, and the flesh color is white. 'Hanakagari' contains soluble sugar and acidity levels that are slightly lower than those of 'Mino-Musume'. 'Hanakagari' has a good texture and a fine flesh without cavity.
