Miyazaki Mangoes (Egg of the Sun) fetch ¥300,000 ($2932)

A brand-name pair of mangoes from Miyazaki Prefecture fetched ¥300,000 at the local central wholesale market, setting a record high for the season’s first auction.

Mangoes sold under the Taiyo no Tamago (Egg of the Sun) label are selected under strict criteria including weight (each must weigh more than 350 grams) and sugar content, which must be high, according to the Miyazaki Agricultural Economic Federation.
