Alice and I visited the grocery store last night, and at my insistence
we purchased these grapes. (there were originally three bunches) They
were about $7.50, but had been marked all the way down to about $5.00.
"$5.00 grapes!" my Japan addled brain thought to itself. "What a
bargain!"
They are, I would argue, worth the price. Truly unlike grapes in the
states, they have more in common with gummi fruit snacks. They have an
intense GRAPE flavor, and they come shooting out of their skin when
you bite them. (Alice tells me grape peeling is a thing here, so
that's probably bred in.)
What might not be worth the price is a $25 mango. I'll have to keep an
eye out for another sale.
Update: That first photo offers no sense of the scale of these grapes. They are not large.
