Star-shaped and Heart-shaped Cucumbers

An Asahi Shimbun video shows off some heart-shaped cucumbers and star-shaped cucumbers being sold by farmers from Fukushima prefecture:

The cucumbers are grown inside plastic molding cases. They are being sold for about 5 times the price of a normal cucumber, but some people are willing to pay for the novelty.

Tell ya what- I’ll buy a star shape cutter…and woah..my own star shaped everything

But seriously,I would pay 5 times for that…like every special occasion. Not all the time…Obviously.

Those probably make nice presents. If I had the chance, I’d probably buy one or two, but of course not regularly.
