Still remember that scene where the main guy went to the fruit store and it looked like a fucking Apple store. That shit was crazy. Here in Kansas we just get fruit from the grocery store. Its kinda nuts that you have specialty fruit stores in Tokyo that sell really pretty and expensive fruit. I wonder if that would even fly here in Kansas?

But only if you by your fruit in Ginza, your local Maruetsu or Santoku super market looks like one would expect.

That seems horrifically wasteful.

It’s kinda horrible actually, all fruit is really expensive.

It makes sense
Their logic is they can never compete with south east asia in terms of quantity of fruits produced, so they'll fill a niche of quality
Hence the hundred dollar fruits

That’s just fruit for gifting, Japanese people buy daily fruit at the grocery store just like you.

Do people in Kansas eat fruit?

Yes? I eat fruit all the time, and use fresh citrus in my dishes. Hell the other day I made lemon braised potatoes and they were literally the best potato I have ever had.

You will not be disappointed. These things were better than any potato I have ever had.
