All-you-can-eat restaurants are common in Japan. Now one rural community is applying the concept to fruit.
A farmer's market in Minami-Alps City in central Japan is giving people the chance to eat as many locally-grown peaches as they can handle in 30 minutes -- for just 8 dollars. The opening of the event on Monday drew a line-up of around 100 hungry customers.
There are four varieties of peach on offer, including "Akatsuki" and "Hakuho." The fruit is kept chilled in water.
The organizer, a local agricultural cooperative, predicts each customer will consume an average of four or five, and that the crowds will put away 20,000 over the course of the event, which runs through next Tuesday.
