Miyazaki Mango

While muskmelons and strawberries in Japan are celebrated and often given as gifts, our favorite fruit in Japan is the mango. Miyazaki prefecture in southern the southern island of Kyushu is known for its mangoes. This one as you can see is labeled as authentic from Miyazaki and even the amount of sugar is labeled on the fruit - at 16 degrees this is quite high.

And, when cut open you can see how juicy it is, and trust me, it was very sweet.

I think I paid about $30 USD for this, not much, considering some of these at shops like Sembikiya will sell for $400 for one.
