7. Exorbitantly Priced Fruit
What it is: an exclusive variety of premium mangoes grown exclusively on the island of Kyushu.
Mangos were invented in the 1980s, and their average price in the United States is between $1.50 and $200 per mango. Things operate a bit differently in Japan, where the Miyazaki mangoes, which are grown in the Miyazaki prefecture on the island of Kyushu in the south of the country, may fetch up to $5,000 (though they often average between $100 and $200).

The picture shows you how pricey mangoes are already. That mango is far from $1.50; it’s closer to $98. These mangoes are exceptionally sweet and delicious, which explains why they are so pricey. To ensure they have a 15% sugar content, a rich red color, and a substantial weight, they go through stringent quality control and growth conditions. These mangoes are more expensive since they are rare, which makes them a delicacy in Japan.
