Definitely raspberries.

They are raspberries. Good luck finding fresh raspberries in Japan.

Depending on the season I can find both fresh raspberries and blackberries at affordable prices at Wakuwaku Hiroba. When I do see them, I buy them immediately because they are quite rare, and are very expensive in other shops.

Refreshing to see a tart made with decent oil instead of some unknown or unhealthy fats, like lard, margarine, butter, palm fat, shortening or trans-fat.

Olive oil is a fat too, and when heated becomes carcinogenic. It is not a 'healthy' option. Butter is best for this kind of baking and gives a richer taste too. I'm not keen on the taste of cakes make with oil.
