The Erewohn strawberry is available for sale in this bespoke container and even comes with a QR code for instructions on how to eat it and will set you back $31.50.

Just for reference, this single strawberry costs around 10 times what a punnet of strawberries would set you back at an Aussie supermarket.

At Woolworths a 250g punnet will cost you $3. But this isn't the only fruit with a crazy price tag.

Yubari King Melon

This may look just like a rockmelon but it comes with a very different price tag.

This is a Yubari King Melon which can only be produced in the Yubari region of Hokkaido, Japan.

These melons are known to retail in shopping centres for around $200-$300, but top-tier ones can fetch staggering prices at auction.

Ruby Roman Grapes

Ruby Roman grapes are a specialty red grape variety cultivated and marketed in the Ishikawa Province of Japan.

Each grape is carefully inspected and the variety gained popularity for its unique taste and appearance. To be qualified as Ruby Romans they need to have exactly 18 per cent sugar and weigh 20 grams.

They may look like an unassuming fruit but they can set you back anywhere between $1000 and $15,000.

Cube Watermelon

The shape of this watermelon may raise an eyebrow but it's nothing in comparison to the cost.

Cube watermelons are commonly sold in Japan and are usually used as ornaments rather than a treat and can boast a hefty price tag.

The rare fruit is made in Japan and shaped into cubes by artificial molds. 

They can usually be purchased for between $100 and $200.

This price isn't quite as high as the Densuke watermelons but when you consider a normal shaped watermelon is only $15, it's a lot.
