This has sparked heated discussions among netizens, with many believing that the price is outrageously high. Some people are curious about the taste of honeydew melons priced at 138 yuan per petal, "Will they taste the same as Xinjiang melons?"
On July 3rd, a journalist from Jimu News called the Japanese food store, and the staff said that the honey melons in the store were indeed priced at 138 yuan per petal. Why is it so expensive? The staff said, "We imported Shizuoka honey melons from Japan, and it costs four to five hundred yuan per piece to pick up the goods."
Jimu News contacted Shenzhen Customs regarding this matter, and staff found out that according to the "List of Fresh Fruit Types and Exporting Countries and Regions Approved for Import in China" issued by the General Administration of Customs, China is only allowed to import two types of fresh fruits from Japan: apples and pears, without honey melons or cantaloupes.

The reporter learned that although Shizuoka honey melons cannot be directly imported from Japan in China, it is reported that many places such as Shandong and Hainan have introduced this variety for trial planting, claiming to be "domestically produced Shizuoka honey melons".
