These are not just any mangoes.

They are tayo notam ago or egg of the Sun, stunning plump red, perfectly unscratched and incredibly sweet mangoes that are farmed in the Miyazaki Prefecture of Japan.

Every april the best mangoes from the prefecture are auctioned off at Miyazaki Central wholesale Market.

But although farmers in Miyazaki dedicate an entire year to preparing these mangoes for auction, there's no guarantee that the fruit will fetch such a high price.
