It's the product of generations of skilled cultivation and comes hand-bagged — each fruit covered on the vine — to protect the skin and bring out its quality. This set includes two premium melons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"seto-p\"\u003eLike the finest Japanese musk melons, it's grown for concentrated sweetness and an even flavor from rind to center, with the netted skin that forms as it ripens and a soft, juicy, melting texture. Each melon weighs about 1.5–2 kg. Presented in a traditional kiri (paulownia) box wrapped in furoshiki, it's built as a gift.\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\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKochi, Japan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVariety\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSou (想) — musk melon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eQuantity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 melons\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSize\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 1.5–2 kg each\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCultivation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-bagged\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePackaging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKiri (paulownia) box with furoshiki wrap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSeason\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYear-round\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.
