burūberī

In Japan, blueberry picking is a popular seasonal activity called ブルーベリー狩り, using the same 'hunting' suffix used for strawberry and cherry picking.
Because ブルーベリー is a loanword, you will almost never see it written with Kanji, even though Japanese often uses Chinese characters for fruit like 苺 for 'strawberry'.
While ブルーベリー is common, some Japanese speakers use ビルベリー for 'bilberry', though the two are often marketed as the same fruit in Japanese health food stores.
