Grown in the beautiful Miyazaki Prefecture on Japan’s Kyushu Island, this mango is locally called “Taiyo no Tamago” (Egg of the Sun)– a name as beautiful as the fruit itself.
Strict Standards: Only the best make the cut! Each Miyazaki mango must weigh over 350 grams, have 15% or more natural sugar, and must look absolutely perfect – flawless shape, rich color, and no blemishes.
Rare & Limited: These mangoes aren’t mass-produced. They are grown with extreme care – often individually wrapped and suspended so that sunlight can kiss every side of the fruit evenly.
Eye Candy: Unlike the usual yellow mangoes, Miyazaki mangoes shine in vibrant reddish-purple hues – they look as premium as they taste.
Incredibly Sweet: The flesh is soft, juicy, and unbelievably sweet – a taste you’ll never forget.
Sold Like Gold: At high-end auctions in Japan, top-quality Miyazaki mangoes have been sold for a jaw-dropping ₹2.7 lakh (around $3,000) per pair!
In 2021, a farmer from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, made headlines for growing this rare gem in their orchard. The mangoes were so precious that they had to hire guards to protect them 24/7 from mango thieves!
