For those who despise these fruits' prices, they probably don't know Japanese culture. These farmers are more like craftsmen that make Japanese denims and kitchen knives, except the latter are not consumables. These fruits are luxuries and the locals know it. There is no point in comparing luxury to ordinary. Obviously, the locals eat mostly imported fruits which are equally healthy but much cheaper. There are cheaper, locally grown but still very tasty fruits as well. I bought a box of 4 apples from Aomori Prefecture for about 4,000 yen back in 2016 and they are easily the best apples I ever have.

I just hope the imperfect fruit doesn't go to waste. You probably could still make a decent amount of money in selling them at grocery stores, or even donate them to food pantries. Back when I was in school, my classmates and I would go to farms and do a process called "gleaning". How it worked is that after the regular harvest of produce, we'd pick any of the misshapen or slightly damaged plants that wouldn't make it on store shelves, and donate them to food pantries. You could even ask grocery stores if they have any items that didn't sell because of harmless abnormalities. It's a great solution to reduce food waste. I wish I had the courage to ask a store about gleaning rejected items, but that would shoot my social anxiety way up.

screw the social anxiety, gathering food to donate to food pantries shows what kind of person you are - the kind this world needs more of!!!

Where do u think they got a lot of their entire culture from? China. Their prized peaches? Those were gotten from China. Persimmons? China. A lot of stuff also filtered from China to Korea and then Japan. Japan is the ultimate thief. When China was the regional superpower she emulated and copied her. When China was overtaken by the west, Japan copied them. Go to a Japanese car museum and look at the evolution of their vehicles. At first they were direct copies of western stuff before they caught up and started innovating themselves. Alot of lower end goods sold in Japan are actually manufactured in China. Quality control is a problem and Japan has their own guys on the ground for that. I noticed some figurines sold in Japan were made in China but quite good quality and cheap. Then when licensed by American and European markets they chose a lower price point and got inferior quality figurines but still sold them at higher prices in their markets. Korea also has some quite high quality fruits. The Chinese pears, peaches and persimmons are amazing.

When I try these mangos it’s like heaven sent! They are perfect, sweet, fiberless and has a floral aroma. So… when I look at how much massaging, milk carton etc effort that he puts into it, I just wonder… is this how fruits are naturally grown? No.. they are not. I guess their so expensive is because people take such good care of it. For me, in the end, is it good? Sweet? Fiberless? Floral/aromatic? Yes! Yes! Sold! The most I’ve paid for one mango was $7
