In fact, people who receive these premium Miyazaki mangoes as gifts often contemplate keeping it as display like perishable art or consume it. You’ll usually find them in specialty fruit stores or even gift shops – individually packed, placed on silk cloth or hay and tied with a silk/satin ribbon – these premium fruits are also marketed as gifts. So giving expensive fruits like melons and mangoes to the manager, mentor relatives, and close friends shows deep appreciation.īasically, other than the farmer’s hard work, it’s because of this gift-giving culture that mangoes and other premium fruits are so expensive in Japan. This gift-giving practice is now ingrained in the Japanese culture.
