Found this a couple weeks ago. I dunno the correct term to describe this, I guess “Huh?” would be the closest thing to my first impression on this subject.

Paying upward to around $200 USD for a small package of fruits? I dunno about any of you, but so long as the fruit is not spoiled/rotten/destroyed in some form I don’t mind at all. I can’t imagine myself spending two weeks worth of paychecks on a carton of strawberries where I’d finish all of them in 1 minute.

Yet in some way I can see where the shop owners and farmers are coming from: they spend all this time and energy to make the perfect fruit, so obviously they’re not going to do it for cheap.

What do you guys think? Can anyone over in Japan vouch for these fruits? Have any of you bought these? How were they? Lastly, are any of you willing to spend $100, $200, $300 + USD for a pair of fruits? We want to hear from you! Till next time.
