Expensive Food (2004-04-06)
US$185 for ONE melon, not a pair as seen in the box. For US$30, you can have a small watermelon or 15 large strawberries
This fruit and cake shop on the basement level of Odakyu dept store in Shijuku sells some of the most pricey fruits I've seen
US$138 for a box of neatly arranged cherries, single layer. How much of the cost goes toward labor? $46 bucks for 9 mandarins, ouch!
Let's see…which one will I spend $46 on, 20 mandarins or 12 strawberries?
Kobe beef on lower left sells for US$275 a kilo!
Matsuzaka beef on upper left (sorry you can barely see it) is heavily marbled and sells for a whopping US$455 a kilo
Different kinds of sake
For US$100 a mango from Nagasaki, it'd better come with more than the box the mango is placed in, much more, much much more
Six pieces of fruit for about US$46, the box on the right that throws in a kiwi and an advocado will set you back for US$73
