I arrived in Tokyo last night and didn't feel like eating out. Luckily, there is a supermarket in the Shinagawa train station. I walked in and saw a beautiful fruit display.
In Japan, apples, pears, and citrus are lovingly packaged. I decided against the Grape Fruit (see above) and picked out some nashi (Asian pear). They were next to a selection of perfect apples. Nashi are a fall fruit and taste like a pear with the crispness of an apple. 
On my way out, I noticed a Halloween display with mini pumpkins and bags of candy. I had no idea that Halloween was celebrated in Japan.

Grapefruit comes in many varieties, determinable by color, which is caused by the pigmentation of the fruit in respect of both its state of ripeness and genetic bent. The most popular varieties cultivated today are red, white, and pink hues, referring to the inside, pulp color of the fruit. The family of flavors range from highly acidic and somewhat bitter to sweet and tart. Grapefruit mercaptan, a sulfur-containing terpene, is one of the substances which has a strong influence on the taste and odor of grapefruit, compared with other citrus fruits.
