How much does avocado cost in Japan?

How much does frozen or freash avocado cost in Japan (per kg)? Is it a common food in the Japanese diet?

Thank you.

Fresh avocado usually cost between 98 and 150 yens in Tokyo, quite cheap, prices depends on the origin. Those I usually buy come from Chile, Mexico or USA. Those from USA are often not good not tasty. Those from Mexico are bigger and tasty.

Never seen frozen avocado in Japan. I bought once frozen guacamole but this was only once. It was an imported stuff.

fresh goes for @128 yen in my supermarket (small town in Kansai)

Thank you very much for your replies. Are these prices per avocado, or per KG?

Kind regards,

That price is per avocado. They are a little cheaper per piece (and usually 25-50% larger) at Costco where they sell them in packs of 5 (I think).

Good to know! Are avocados common in restaurants, or is it a fruit that people usually just buy fresh in grocery stores for themselves?

Avocado isn't an ingredient in Japanese cuisine, so it's not so popular at restaurants. Usually you can find a dish or two with avocado in a non-Japanese restaurant.
I buy mine and prepare at home. My supermarket sales delicious bottled sauces for avocado, so I usually eat it that way or put it in a spaghetti.

Snjezana,

Actually, you would typically find avocado between the fruit and vegetable sections at supermarkets, grocery stores and department stores. The Japanese tend to think that fruit is sweet and vegetables are not.

And although avocado became common only in the recent decades, one of the most typical ways the Japanese enjoy them is to eat it fresh with soy sauce and wasabi. So in a way, it's quite Japanese. But weirdly, you don't see them so much in Japanese-style resturants, although you do see them a lot a Tex-Mex style restaurants in Japan.
