I made the same experience! Until I learned that Japanese don’t consume fruits like the rest of the world, but rather purchase them as gifts. And look at the beauty of each fruit in comparison to Western products in supermarkets… I paid 17€ for one pineapple once in Okinawa and the taste was out of this world.

I tried those grapes once stateside. A whole $17… but they’re literally the size of a tablespoon

These are fancier gift giving fruits. There are more reasonably priced ones at the grocery stores.

Fruit prices in a normal supermarket are much more reasonable.. these are the highest quality fruit for gift giving.

Bought a miyazaki mango for like $60 it was worth every cent, ultra concentrated mango flavor with the texture of sorbet and no nasty mango fibers.

I don’t mind that price for figs – but I can rarely find fresh figs where I live, so I’d be willing to splurge 😂

Surely they don’t all get sold, what happens then

These don’t even appear to be the most expensive gift fruits.. these are probably mid-tier….

That’s just a clickbait as if all fruits have this price tag, any country would have these kind of prices in the exotic premium fruits, go to the normal market and you’ll find very cheap high qualitt fruits so cut the BS with these posts.
