Enjoy the incredibly sweet flavor and aroma. Experience the tender, succulent orange flesh that dissolves on your tongue. Cultivated near the beautiful Raiden Coast in Kyowa-cho, Hokkaido, the Raiden Melon is a delicacy crafted with a labour of love. The rich sweetness of the Raiden Melon has been measured with precision as each specimen must pass a rigorous screening for sugar content before being approved for market. Reward yourself with this sweet and juicy treat. For the best taste experience:Raiden Melons are ready to eat when the bottom is slightly soft (try pushing with your finger to judge this). Note that melons start ripening as soon as they are harvested. We recommend consuming the melon within 2-3 days of delivery. Until the day you consume the melon, store it at room temperature and refrigerate your melon 2-3 hours before consuming.
