You’ve probably heard the story of the square (cubed) watermelon grown in Japan. We wondered if we might see one. It believe I was the only one on my team that did. I would have purchased it to share with my team to see if the watermelon tasted any different than a round one except that it was 150 USD!!! I wasn’t that curious. So i just took a picture of it instead.

The Japanese take their fruit very seriously.  Besides seeing the $150 watermelon, I also saw $3 Kiwi (a steal next to the watermelon).  Also if you happen to buy fruit at a grocery store and it is unripe or too ripe or not sweet enough, you can bring it back to the store and RETURN IT.  The fruit in Japan is amazingly sweet, fresh and flavorful.  You don’t need to know how to pick the right melon or the examine the grape bunches for bad grapes because it is ALL good.  They don’t put bad fruit on display.
