Cherrys are welcomed by many consumers because of their beautiful appearance and delicious taste. There are many types of cherries. The flavors of cherries from different origins are different, and the selling prices also vary widely.
It is understood that cherries, as a seasonal fruit in summer, are known as the "beauty fruit". In ancient times, they were often used as the first choice for tribute. "The cherry is fragrant, the peach is pink" describes the coveted taste and shape of the cherry.
According to Japanese media reports, the cherry variety "Juno Heart" developed by Aomori Prefecture was auctioned at the Hachinohe Central Wholesale Market. In the end, a box of 15 "Aomori Heartbeat" cherries, the highest grade of this variety, fetched a sky-high price of 600,000 yen, which is equivalent to 40,000 yen per cherry, or about 1,980 yuan.
It is understood that the successful bidder also paid the highest price of 450,000 yen last year. Local people say that "Aomori Heartbeat" has large fruits, excellent color and sweet taste, and is the best among cherries.
Many netizens disagree with this. Don’t we have the same auction for 100,000 lychees? The point is not the price, the key is to promote the product; it is the same as Chinese tea, and it is even similar to domestic hype shoes.
Some people are also joking, if you eat this thing, will you become an immortal, ascend to the sky, or live as long as heaven and earth? Cheap cherries don’t make you feel good, but expensive cherries make you feel cheated. I will no longer complain that the 25 yuan per kilogram of cherries at the fruit shop in front of my community is too expensive.
Some netizens also said that if the Japanese were not good at conceptual marketing, no matter how delicious the cherries are, a cherry worth nearly 2,000 yuan would already be expensive. Instead of the normal price of cherries as a fruit, they are being made into a luxury product. This is like the Japanese who spent 50 years making a bowl of rice. The so-called craftsmanship in Japan is just a way to achieve product premiums.
