As a fruit party, Osaka sauce is inseparable all day!
Our China is a vast land, rich in countless fruits~
Like the recently seasonal Guangxi orange, Xinjiang apple, Dandong strawberry, etc., it is really happy to be able to eat delicious fresh and cheap fruits at any time.
However, our neighbor Japan is not so free when it comes to fruit~
As we all know, fruit auctions are one of Japan's annual traditional performances, and they often produce sky-high fruits that make your jaw drop!
Recently, a super high ~~~~ grade cherry came out on top, and a box of 500 grams was auctioned for a high price of 1.3 million yen?!
Equivalent to one = 19,000 yen (about 976 yuan)...
Boy! I'm packing up and ready to go to Japan to grow fruit!
According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, the million-dollar cherry, named Sato Nishiki, is an ultra-premium cherry variety from Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, cultivated by Kazuo Hanawa, a 73-year-old local fruit farmer.
Just looking at the appearance is indeed quite appetizing!
Each cherry has an attractive bright red color, full color, smooth and lustrous surface, each measuring about 2.5-2 .8cm in diameter.
Because the variety is delicate, the planting process is cumbersome and meticulous.
Hanawa and Mr. Xiong said that when planting in June last year, the seedlings needed to be put in a special refrigerator and the temperature needed to be adjusted to 3 degrees Celsius, which simulates cold winter weather.
It was not until October that cherry seedlings were transplanted into greenhouses for planting, and 80 kg of cherries were harvested this year.
The cherries that participated in the auction were picked the day before they were sold, so it's no wonder they look so fresh. I just don't know how it tastes?
It is estimated that if you sell it at this price, no matter what the taste is, you have to taste one, two, three, come on, haha~
➤ In other words, Japan's sky-high food over the years can be described as more exaggerated from session to session, and before that, there was also a ranking of the most expensive fruits in Japan!
Top 5 most expensive fruits
Quad watermelon
A square-looking watermelon was priced at 15,000 yen, about 768 yuan!
At this price, you should be able to buy a basket of large watermelons in China.....
The reason why it is so expensive is because of the distinctive cubic shape.
And the inside tastes like ordinary watermelon~
It is said that there are two main reasons for changing watermelons: one is to facilitate the transportation of fruits, and the square can be better stacked; The second is that it is convenient for consumers to store in the refrigerator and will not roll around.
Top 4 most expensive fruits
Son of the Sun Mango
In 2019, two top-quality mangoes called "Children of the Sun" in Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan, were sold for two for 500,000 yen!
What is the concept, that is, eat a mango, more than 10,000 yuan is gone.
One of Miyazaki's specialties in Japan is mangoes, and this [son of the sun] mango can be described as the ceiling of the mango world, accounting for only 12-14% of the total local production!
The weight of each mango can reach more than 350 grams, the appearance is bright and red, the flesh is delicate, and the sweetness is more than 15 degrees!

Top 3 most expensive fruits
Tasuke watermelon
In third place is the Tasuke watermelon, which sold 650,000 yen in 2008! At the price at that time, this watermelon was really sky-high~
The distinctive point of Tasuke watermelon, first of all, is the color of the skin! It is not the green of ordinary watermelon, but a deep dark green close to black.
In addition, Hokkaido's natural conditions with a large temperature difference between day and night also make its taste and sweetness much better than ordinary watermelon.
Of course, the main reason is its rarity!
As the saying goes, scarce is expensive, this watermelon only grows in Hokkaido, Japan, and only produces 100 pieces per year! This kind of limited commodity, even if the price is outrageous, will make many people flock to it.
TOP2 of the most expensive fruits
Romantic ruby grapes
Also in 2019, a bunch of red grapes was auctioned for 1.2 million yen! This bunch is 24, and the average price is 50,000 yen, which is the highest price of this variety in the 12 years since it was on the market!
This high-grade red grape named "Romantic Ruby" was cultivated by the Ishikawa Prefectural Agricultural Research Institute in Japan over a period of 14 years!
In 1996, they planted 400 vine grapes, and only 4 produced red grapes, and after repeated research and adjustment, [Romantic Ruby] was finally released.
Unlike other grapes, it has a large fruit, ruby red skin, rich juice, low acidity and high sweetness, and has been certified as the highest level of PREMIUM in the quality rating!

As the name suggests, this cantaloupe is grown in Yubari City, Hokkaido, Japan!
In 2019, two special varieties of Yubari cantaloupe were sold at an absolute high price of 5 million yen, setting a new record~

The flesh is soft and juicy, and the taste is refreshing, and it is known as the best fruit in the world. And to reach this sky-high fruit king, it must not only be delicious, but also good-looking!
Each cantaloupe is like a meticulously crafted work of art, requiring an extremely rounded and full shape, and the branches of the skin must be beautifully and regularly shaped in a T-shape.
