If you are a lover of fruits, the flagship store of Takano in Shinjuku is your ultimate mecca.
Its three levels contain the most perfect, unblemished fruits in Tokyo.
Basement 1 displays all the packaged fruits. This side has the biggest and roundest of them all.
Perfect gifts for grandparents and parents-in-law. :)
