Expensive truffles are notoriously pricey because they are difficult to cultivate. So they are called the king of all fungi.

Almas caviar, which is extremely rare and expensive, comes from Iran. Almas means diamond in Iran. Eggs are taken from white sturgeons which are over hundreds of years old. Therefore, it is not hard to understand in English Almas caviar is sold for about $25,000/ kilo.

Yubari Melons – $22,872/ pair

Regardless of the quality, a pair of Yubari melons is the world’s most expensive cantaloupes because they were the first auction of the 2008 season in Japan.

Dansuke Watermelon – $6,100/fruit

A Dansuke watermelon in Japan becomes the most expensive watermelon in the world with the price of $6,100. This is a type of black watermelon grown only on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. There are only sixty-five of the fruits among the first harvest season. They are harder and crisper than normal watermelons.

Domenico Crolla’s “Pizza Royale 007″ – $4200/ pie

Wagyu Steak – $2800/ dish

This is a dish from Japan made of Kobe beef, a very special type of beef in Japan. Kobe beef comes from cows that are allegedly fed only beer and massaged by hand to ensure a tenderness and marbling beyond compare. You can enjoy this dish at New York City’s Craftsteak, the U.S. with the price of $2800.

The Zillion Dollar Frittata – $1000/ pie

This expensive breakfast consists of eggs, lobster and 10 ounces of sevruga caviar which costs $65 per ounce. On the menu of the restaurant, there are much more expensive foods than the Zillion Dollar Frittata.

Matsutake Mushrooms – $1000/pound 

Matsutake mushroom is expensive mainly because of its rarity. Previously, the fungus was common in autumn in Japan; however, several pesticides increasingly appeared on the trunk where matsutake live. A method for farming the matsutake has yet to be developed, which means the lack of trees from which to harvest these mushrooms naturally is a serious problem for the species.

The World’s Most Expensive Bagel – $1000/ pie

Bagel is cooked by Executive Chef Frank Tujague for New York’s Westin Hotel. It is topped with white truffle cream cheese and goji berry. The bagel’s price is justified when you consider that white truffles happen to be the second most expensive food by weight, eclipsed only by caviar.
