Wow. Are those like $12 each? I knew Japan prices were high but how does anyone afford to eat?

The labor and quality checking that goes in to each piece of fruit is so extensive that it drives the prices up. Each fruit has to be PERFECT before it can be put on store shelves. As such, they're considered a "luxury item".
