Farmers in Zentsuji, Kagawa Prefecture, are once again in novelty nirvana, as the their yearly shipment of overly-priced and unusually-shaped watermelons has just kicked off. Making it a momentous day for Japan’s fancy fruit lovers, with masses of mutated melon maniacs already clearing out suitable spaces for this allegedly freezer-friendly fruit.
Perhaps.
Peter says
Actually, these melons look much more convenient for shippers and stores. Being square in shape, they are much more efficient in terms of space.
an englishman in osaka says
I can’t believe you’re able to freeze melons. Baps yes, but not melons.
Richard says
The cost of fruit in Japan is ridiculous!
I have seen melons priced at ï¿¥10,000.
