Introduction:
Never underestimate the impact of fruit as a birthday, anniversary, or business gift.
Fruit has been a go-to gift for just about everything in cultures across the world for hundreds of years.
Special events, thank yous, or romantic holidays: fruit is the one gift that’s perfect for every occasion. And when it comes to fruit, you’ll never beat the mouth-watering delicacies that are luxury Japanese strawberries, melons, pears, persimmons, and more.
But why is fruit such an unforgettable gift? And why is Japanese fruit the best gift idea for the most important people in your life?

Fruit Gift-Giving Culture in Japan
You’ve probably seen videos of fruit in Japan selling for gourmet prices. That’s because Japanese people know that fruit is one of the best gifts you can share with someone.
Giving fruit as a gift is common among many cultures, but Japanese gift-giving is on a whole other level. Fruit is seen as a luxury gift in Japan because of the effort that goes into growing the “perfect” fruit.
Japanese farmers know that fruit is one of the best corporate gifts for executives, the best birthday food presents, and even a lovely souvenir to bring back to loved ones from regions famous for fruit.
So, what makes fruit such a powerful gift for the special people in your life? Here are 3 reasons fruit is the best gift you could give.
1. Ikigai Fruits are a Culinary Work of Art
No supermarket flowers or discount box of chocolates is going to convey the depth of your feelings. Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for a birthday, Valentine’s Day, or an anniversary, something from Ikigai Fruits is the perfect gift to say “I love you” to your favorite person (or people).
This is because each carefully crafted variety in our catalogue is imbued with passion and dedication to human exceptionalism that you can’t find anywhere else.
One of the best examples is the Crown Melon, a stunningly vibrant and juicy fruit coveted as a gift in Japan and around the world. When you receive your Crown Melon, you’re not just receiving a piece of fruit: you’re receiving a culinary work of art.
Just like any work of art, you can even learn about the artist. Every Crown Melon comes with a code you can use to look up the exact farmer who brought your delicious melon to life. This unique bond between you, your loved one, and this person thousands of miles away that created something just to bring you together is all thanks to Ikigai Fruits.
Through Ikigai Fruits, you can give the gift of delicious flavors and human connection.
2. Share An Unforgettable Moment with Your Loved One
What makes an outstanding gift?
If you’ve ever wondered what makes some gifts shine and others well… shine a little less, here’s your answer.
An outstanding gift creates an unforgettable experience between the gift giver and the recipient. What makes fruit perfect for this is it’s meant to be shared. Watching your special someone enjoy themselves is always a treat, but it’s even better when you can share the experience of something new together.
A box of Tricolor Ichigo from Ikigai Fruits is the perfect gift to try with someone for the first time. Each box comes with 3 distinctly colored strawberries: succulent red, delicate pink, and sparkling white. These 3 varieties have their own tastes, textures, and features that have to be tried to be believed. Why not surprise your loved one with a box and say you’ll try them together?
Imagine taking your first bites at the same time. What will they taste like? Will you and your loved one have the same favorites? Will you get to learn something new about someone you already know so well?
Ikigai Fruits is an outstanding gift that helps you make unforgettable memories with your favorite people in the world.
3. Exclusivity is the Spice of Life
On top of being thoughtful and perfect for shared experiences, some of our best-selling Ikigai Fruits selections are a spectacular gift due to their limited availability.
All our varieties are already well-known in Japan, and are already hard to come by due to their sparkling reputations. That means they’re even harder to find outside of Japan’s borders. With Ikigai Fruits, you get the one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try fruits that barely anyone outside of Japan has tried.
This is especially true for seasonally exclusive items like Nashi Pears or Persimmons that can only be experienced in the fall. For a truly unique, unforgettable, exclusive experience, it’s crucial to monitor our seasonal inventory to snatch up the rare fruit deals before you have to wait another year to try them.
You don’t need to be present in Japan to try the best fruit the world has to offer. Let Ikigai Fruits handle the delivery and you just worry about which fruit you need to try next!
