So the rumor I heard is true. Walking around the streets of Kyoto, I came across my first square watermelon. Apparently the Japanese came up with them because you can pack more of them in a shipping crate than round melons. Just about all the fruit here is imported and expensive, a bunch of grapes, $5, and apple $4. Some fruit is so expensive itﾕs gift wrapped and given as presents. Most cantaloupes here are about $20, but you can find the most perfect cantaloupe youﾕve ever seen going for $80 in a department store.

What is the proper setting, exactly, in which to serve an $80 melon? Doesn't seem like the kind of thing you just slice up and eat with your cornflakes in the morning.
