946 is a type of banana in Japan that sells for up to 230,000 VND/fruit. Notably, the thin banana peel can be used as a smoothie or stir-fried like a vegetable.

It is not difficult to find bananas in Japan as they are sold in any supermarket or convenience store. Photo: ABC. However, bananas are still a rare fruit in the land of the rising sun, because 99.98% of bananas in this country are imported. Only 0.02% of the bananas on the market are grown locally.

The type of banana grown in Hokkaido is called 946 and the price is not cheap. Photo: Soranews24 The price of a 946 banana is 1,080 Yen, equivalent to 230,000 VND, 20 times the price of an imported banana in Japanese grocery stores. Photo: Soranews24 Even a box of three bananas is more expensive than buying three individual fruits because there is also the cost of packaging as a gift. Photo: Soranews24 Accordingly, a box is 4,860 Yen (about more than one million dong). The price surprised many people. Photo: Soranews24 Japan’s 946 bananas are quite large in size, equivalent in length but “fatter” than bananas imported from other countries. Photo: Soranews24 Like most fruits in Japan, banana 946 is grown with a clean process, without the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. They have a sweet but not overpowering taste, with just the right amount of moisture and scent. Photo: Soranews24 In particular, banana peels are thinner than regular bananas and are described as “thin enough to be eaten”. Even 946 banana peels can be sautéed like the traditional Japanese vegetable kinpira gobo. Photo: Soranews24 Video: 9x boy is passionate about growing clean bananas Source: VTV24
