Watermelon is delicious, especially the square ones.

>Does the small island country with a limited space for agriculture have a hard time getting certain kinds of seasonal produce?
Fucking persona fags. I swear. You're an idiot.
Christopher Hughes
They're extremely expensive since it's seen as a type of food that needs to be farmed in a certain way.
>A single melon can sell for upwards of 15,000 yen (around $200)

That’s retarded. I can get a melon for like 3 bucks
Adrian Reed
it's a dumb game of smashing them blindfolded.
People might call others dumb for making it a big deal for making the first cut of a cake.
Austin Diaz
are you sure that's not talking bout square melons?
they smash watermelons with bats in japan, you'd think that they would take more care with them then
John James
Their strawberries are like $20 per pack. Fruit are used in gift-giving, so any fruit is sold for a premium because the demand will still be there.
Brandon Miller
They eat them after splitting them still, don't they?
Dominic Anderson

That's the regular melons cultivated in a certain way. It involves selecting a melon from each plant and cutting all others on the same plant so all the nutrition can go to a single fruit. That's why they are so expensive, since the production is so small.
As for why watermelons are so popular in anime I guess it's because watermelons are the de facto summer fruit around the world.
Angel Davis
Because watermelons are delicious!!!
James Sullivan
youtu.be
yeah, I know gift fruits in japan can get a little ridiculous
anyways, here's a fat guy sampling a 20k(~200$) yen melon and a 1000 yen (~10$) melon
John Mitchell
You're retarded and you don't know how agriculture works.
Levi Powell
It's racist desu.
Angel Brooks
I don't care how retarded nips are, their watermelons can't cost $200.
Joseph Martin
user is being dishonest.
When you read what he's saying it sounds like watermelons cost 15000 yen.
But that's not what his quote is actually saying.
The point is that premium grade watermelons can potentially reach a price of over 15000 yen.
Blake Gomez
they can and they do. there's regularly priced produce, and then there's the specially-raised produce that they sell for ridiculous prices
Josiah Cruz
>he doesn't get excited for watermelons
Gavin Wilson
Japs have hyper autism about certain things. Anything from a minor social inconvenience to certain fruits make them sperg out like crazy.
Nathan Morgan
they're delicious

Kaji grew watermelons in post third impact japan. Don't give me all this shit about agriculture
Christian Adams
Its not watermelon season yet, the cheapest one I have seen at the store was 3500yen and it was tiny.
Easton Jenkins
What the fuck? I used to grow watermelons in my yard for free.
Grayson Richardson
they're niggers. it's why the default fanta flavor is purple rather than orange

Even inside countries the price varies a lot in perishable consumables.
In brazil for example, brazilian nuts are called "Pará nuts", Pará being the name of a state, on the far north of the country because it is produced there, and even though in Pará those nuts are super cheap, the more further south you go in the country the more expensive they got. In the south and southeast, they are so fucking expensive they are considered a gourmet food. Same shit with Acai berries, in that region it's almost considered a plague, but it costs a fortune in other regions.
Now imagine that in a country surrounded by sea from all sides, where everything that gets in, is either by plane or ship. Of course exotic fruits are super expensive there.

Why do japanese eat watermelon with salt?
Anthony Martin

Asher Murphy

Easton Russell

Blake Davis
>he doesnt salt his watermelons
I bet you don't know that papayas and pineapples go with salt as it supposed to be as well
Benjamin Morris

Brandon Stewart
