If you want to pay $50 for a punnet of strawberries, $200 for a rock melon or $10 for a banana- well Japan is the place. There are premium fruit and vegetable stalls selling incredibly expensive fruit and veg, but they are the most perfect items you could ever imagine, the melons are perfectly round and colour and markings exact, strawberries will all have the same number of seeds and so on. They wrapped, gift boxed then put in a exotic bag just as if you were buying a pair of shoes from Louis Vuitton or Cucci. The fruit is usually used as a gift and not for the person buying.
