The country of Japan does have a limited resources and space for growing crops and fruits. Given that fact, farmers are obliged to make the most out of these lands by carefully planting fruits with premium quality. That is why some fruits in Japan are naturally expensive.
These are the popular fruits you can find in Japan:
1. Strawberry - Japan is the 4th largest strawberry producer country globally. High quality and perfect strawberries are pretty much expensive. It grows from December to May of the year.
2. Fuji Apple - A cross between two classic American Apple varieties. Taste the sweetness of crispy and juicy Fuji apples. It is available all year round and is the most popular apple available in the market.
3. Square Watermelon - Aside from the famous strawberry, square watermelon is definitely a unique fruit in Japan. It’s the same as the typical watermelon but it differs with size. The reason behind this is it’s easier to stack and consumes less space. Anyway there’s a saying that it doesn’t matter what the shape is, it’s what’s inside that matters.
