World's most expensive fruit interior

Japanese - people more than extravagant, they always come up with something, go ahead of the rest. This time, they stood out with the most expensive in the world of fruit interior. Never heard of fruit salon? We are too. "Sembikiya" - is, in fact, a fruit shop, but the goods are so expensive, and the interior of the store resembles a jeweler, so the "Fruit Show" - a rather apt name.

1. This is the main store of Japanese fruit "giant" - the company "Sembikiya." It since 1834 and managed by the same family. At that time it was the usual fruit shop, but once the shopkeeper's wife in the second generation decided that they can make money in other ways.





2. Thus, it is rather a gift shop than the store. About 80-90% of these goods are purchased as a gift, because in Japan on official events (weddings, business meetings and visits to the hospital) decided to give expensive fruits.



3. Here you can buy apples Seca-ichi for $ 21. $ 21 for one piece! In Japanese Seca-ichi means "the best in the world." Ostensibly, these apples were washed with honey, then tears of angels and Donald Trump. The joke, of course.



4. Square watermelon - all for 212 dollars.



5. $ 69 for a pack of royal strawberries (12 pieces).



6. Cherry on 159, 50 bucks for a box (ie $ 4 apiece).



7. $ 64 for grapes.



8. You may want to assorted fruits of 6 fruits for 170 $?



9. Or watermelon densuke for 127 $ ???

By the way in 2011 farmers from Hokkaido very grieved because the price of these watermelons fell: the most expensive of them then sold "only" for $ 4,000. Every year in Hokkaido grow only 100 of these watermelons.



10. Yubari melons (one for $ 160, or $ 265 for two). This is the most expensive fruit on the ground. Once a melon sold at auction for 23,500 $.



11. What's so special about them? Firstly, they are grown in greenhouses and covered ideal hats, so they will not dry in the sun. Each plant produces only one fruit, and to get the sweet fruit, farmers cut the fruit prematurely.



12. Family Sembikiya says that she started the tradition of giving expensive fruit.



13. For the sake of their products to the expensive shops, farmers are ready for the most extreme measures. And that's why in Tokyo from almost every shop is real museum of fruit.
