Additionally, Japanese consumers don't do like the Taiwanese and rap on pineapples to judge their quality by the sound. Instead, because the Japanese prefer to cut down on organic waste in their cities and ordinary consumers prefer not to hack into the pineapples themselves, most pineapples are first sent to harbor-side factories where they're peeled and packed before heading to the supermarkets.
此外，日本消費者不會像台灣家庭主婦以輕敲鳳梨，用回音或清脆程度來選擇鳳梨，日本基於不讓垃圾進城的環保理由，加上一般消費者不會「殺」鳳梨，大部分生鮮鳳梨都是在海港旁的處理工廠削皮清理，直接送進超市裝盤。
