TOKYO (AFP) - A pair of mangoes grown in southern Japan sold on Thursday for a whopping 300,000 yen (S$3,675), a record price for the fruit's first auction of the season, Kyodo News reported.

The Taiyo no Tamago (Egg of the Sun) brand mangoes were set to be airlifted from Miyazaki in the far south of the country to a department store in Fukuoka, where they were to go on sale, the agency said.

To qualify as a Taiyo no Tamago mango, each fruit must weigh at least 350g and have a high sugar content, according to the Miyazaki Agricultural Economic Federation.

Fruit is routinely expensive in Japan and it is not unusual for a single apple to cost upwards of US$3 (S$3.70), while a presentation pack of 20 cherries can set you back US$100.

Japan-grown fruits are very expensive. Sometimes they go on sale at the Isetan supermarket in Orchard Road.

That's called having standards. Even the local food masters ensure their apprentices have years of discipleship.

Better than outsourcing to cheap FTs and let them follow a procedure mechanically. No pride, no emotional investment. Just like a prostitute going through the motions then achieving a transaction.

My friend who a fruit importer told me that any foreign fruit consignment that fail inspection at Japan customs are immediately load onboard a container carrier and ship to sinkieland. According to him, sinkieland AVA will pass the fruits to be fit for human consumption. Dunno jap health and safety too strict or AVA too lax.
