Bijin-hime is the name of a special strawberry that is produced by a farm in Gifu, Japan. Bijin-hime literally means “beautiful princess”. Large sized bijin-hime can weigh over 100g a piece. The most expensive one sells for 50000 yen (approx $452.75 as of 2/15/19) per piece, NOT per box. Cheaper ones can be bought through a vending machine that operates 24 hours, and those vary in price and size from 6000 yen for 15 pieces to 10000 yen for a dozen. Originally I thought that selling one heart-shaped Ichigokoro strawberry for 5000 yen was absurd, but that is nothing compared to bijin-hime.
