6. Densuke Black Watermelon – $6,100
Yup, our next expensive food is not a five-star dish from a world renowned chef. In fact, it is not a dish at all! As you can see, it is just one piece of fruit, a watermelon.
On the market, there are over 1,200 varieties of watermelon. So, what makes the Densuke Black Watermelon so expensive? Here is the answer!
This produce only grows in the island of Hokkaido, Japan. Every year, there can only be 10,000 of them harvested. Even on the first harvest, there were only 65 of them. And this one on our list is among the first harvest. It was auctioned off for ¥650,000 (around $6,100).
So, what about the taste? Some say it tastes just like watermelon but it is different. It has a unique crisp texture and different kind of sweetness.
