A Taste for Strawberries: The Independent Journey of Nisei Farmer Manabi Hirasaki is the autobiography of Manabi Hirasaki - a Depression-era boy, a Japanese American World War II veteran, a savvy entrepreneur, and a generous philanthropist. Mr. Hirasaki, the son of a successful Gilroy, California farmer, vividly recounts his enduring relationship with the world of commercially grown strawberries and his rise to become the first non-European American board member of Driscoll Strawberry Associates, the world's largest commercial strawberry distributor.
