Most Expensive Cantaloupe
Yubari is a small town close to Sapporo, Hokkaido. It used to be a coal mining town but that’s not what makes this town special. Yubari is famous for its orange-fleshed melon called Yubari melon, a melon priced from 6,000 to 15,000 Yen or could reach 20,000 Yen for the good ones. Yubari melon’s price record at auction was established in 2008 at 2.5 million Yen for one set of two melons.
