Out of an annual yield of around 100,000 melons, only the ones that meet strict standards for taste, shape, and netting are selected. Each melon is 1.4–1.5kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eThe orange flesh sets it apart from the usual green musk melons — a robust, concentrated sweetness, a fragrant aroma, and almost none of the faint bitterness near the rind that other melons can have. Grown with organic fertilizer and ripened for flavor, it's as much a gift as a fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"seto-spec-table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIkka Souden\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKochi, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrange musk melon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrowing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne melon per plant; organic fertilizer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlesh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrange; robust sweetness, low bitterness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4–1.5kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeasonal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eState\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eWhen it's ripe\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eA musk melon ships firm and ripens at room temperature. Two signs tell you it's ready: the stem (the T-shaped vine on top) dries out — the base stays green while the tips go brown — and the bottom softens, giving slightly when you press it with a thumb. Once ripe, chill it a few hours before serving and eat within a day or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"seto-h3\"\u003eHow to cut \u0026amp; enjoy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eCut off the stem, then slice the melon in half top-to-bottom rather than across — the bottom is the sweetest part, and cutting lengthwise gives every piece an even share. Scoop out the seeds and pulp (strain the pulp through a sieve for pure melon juice), cut each half into quarters, run the knife between skin and flesh, then slice into wedges. Serve well chilled as is, with prosciutto, over ice cream, or as a fruit course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-pairing\"\u003ePairing notes — on its own well chilled, with prosciutto, over vanilla ice cream, or with a sparkling wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"seto-rare-note\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRipening \u0026amp; handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Arrives firm to allow for shipping.
