Ridiculous apples

by Tom on April 30th, 2008

Tonight my wife and I took on the biggest apple that I have ever seen.  In the real world it looked even bigger than the photo.  It was a genuine family sized apple and was probably destined to be a wonderful gift rather than simply being snapped up by hungry Australians to eat at home.

Japanese fruit shops will often have a section reserved specifically for these super fruit.  Super sized, super quality or super out of season but always with a super price tag.  These guys weren’t too expensive at about 150 yen each ($1.50) but it is not uncommon to see apples , citrus, stone fruit or melons for exorbitant prices.  They are grown and transported with special care to become perfect gifts for those that you want to honour.  Gifts giving is truly an art here.
