Product Details

Fall in love with the elegant sweetness, mouth-watering juiciness and the smooth tenderness that melts in your mouth. Immerse yourself in a beautiful musk aroma that fills the entire room. Meet the Crown Melon — the king of all fruits. The Crown Melon is the highest quality muskmelon grown only in the western region of Shizuoka Prefecture. In order to receive the crown seal of approval, the melons must pass strict standards of sugar content, flavor, ripeness and appearance. This level of quality can only be achieved by a handful of experienced farmers who have mastered their craft. For those who have tasted it, the Crown Melon is not just a fruit — it's a work of art.

For the best taste experience:
Crown 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 in room temperature and refrigerate your melon 2-3 hours before consuming.

About Shizuoka Crown Melon

Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan

Over 100 years of history.

The first Crown Melon was cultivated in Fukuroi City, Shizuoka in 1921. This legendary melon originated from a unique cultivar called “Earl’s Favorite” imported from the UK. While other brands have been selectively bred, the Crown Melon has been cultivated purely from the Earl’s Favorite seed for over a century. The farmers of Fukuroi kept improving the cultivation methods with constant trial and error. Their long history of dedication and craftsmanship is what led to the exceptional quality of the Crown Melon today.

Climate blessed by nature.

Crown Melons are only cultivated in the western region of Shizuoka Prefecture called Enshu. This region has a mild climate that gets long days full of of sunlight which feels tailor-made to grow these fruits successfully. Along with Crown Melons, tea and rice from this region are also highly prized due to their exquisite growing conditions that reveal the full potential of their flavors.

One melon, one tree.

The unmatched flavor of Crown Melons can be attributed to their unique cultivation method of "one melon, one tree". Each melon is grown on its own tree with its own patch of soil separating it from the ground. This is to ensure every melon is properly endowed with 100% of each tree's nutrients and growing efforts. This method allows the farmers to adjust the amount and timing of water and fertilizer to cater to each melon's conditions. Temperature, humidity and sunlight is constantly monitored and adjusted for 100 days before they're ready for harvest.

The crown seal of approval.

Only the cream of the crop is deemed worthy of the Crown Melon seal. Inspectors thoroughly check aspects like sugar content, flavor, ripeness, appearance and more, under strict quality standards. This mark of success also includes the ID # of the farmer, meaning you can pinpoint exactly which grower's hard work brought you the delicious fruit on your table.
