The Japanese are known for their love of beauty, harmony, and quality. It’s reflected in their art, their music, their fashion. What’s not so well known is that this search for perfection is reflected in their fruit.

This has led growers all over Japan to create wonderful ‘designer’ varieties that are for sale, immaculately packaged, in Tokyo’s luxury fruit stores at eye-watering prices.

A few are now being exported beyond the shores of Japan, so if you’re a fruit lover, keep an eye out for these incredible creations. But the Japanese don’t have a monopoly on premium fruit. To end our list, we’ve traveled to the UK for an unexpected taste of the tropics, and China, for a lucky charm. Enjoy!

Price: between $200 – $45,000 per melon

As the name suggests, they’re grown exclusively in the small city of Yubari, in Hokkaido province. Originally developed in the 1950s, these rockmelons are a cross of Earl’s Favorite and Burpee Spicy varieties.

Their incredible flavor is partly due to the rich volcanic soil they’re grown in and partly because of the way they’re cultivated. Taking 100 days to produce, they’re massaged daily to create the perfect lattice patterning on the rind and even given hats to protect them from the sun.

They’re highly prized for their fragrance and flavor, sweet and slightly spicy with notes of pineapple. A world away from the bland supermarket specimens we’re used to.
