Meet the Japanese Crown Melon — a premium variety of Japanese muskmelon known as the king of all fruits. The Crown Melon is the international fruit sensation grown only in the western region of Shizuoka Prefecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exceptional fruit is renowned for its soothing aroma and mesmerizing shape. For many whose only exposure to melons is cantaloupe, the urge to compare the two is high. However, this Japanese muskmelon and a cantaloupe are more different than you think! Cantaloupes are common and sweet, while the Crown Melon is a luxury dessert with honey-like, sugary flesh and a meticulously monitored growing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn order to receive the official crown seal of approval, each one-of-a-kind specimen 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor the best taste experience:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Crown Melon is 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shizuoka Crown Melon","offers":[{"title":"1 Juicy Crown Melon","offer_id":47570906480921,"sku":"1_CROWN_MLN","price":158.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Juicy Crown Melons","offer_id":47570906513689,"sku":"2_CROWN_MLN","price":298.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Juicy Crown Melons","offer_id":47570906546457,"sku":"3_CROWN_MLN","price":435.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0783\/4252\/1113\/files\/01_____011625.jpg?v=1737071541"},{"product_id":"taishu","title":"Taishu","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEnjoy autumn's sweetest treat.

These luxurious kaki (persimmon in Japanese) gems were first cultivated in 1981 and are still only grown in two prefectures: Niigata and Gifu. Though they’re about 1\/10th the size of a regular asian persimmon, don’t let their size fool you! They’re just as sweet, if not sweeter, than your average fruit. Among Japanese persimmon varieties, these tiny treasures stand out for their exceptional flavor and charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNaturally, many kaki persimmons are astringent, but not Mini Persimmons. Thanks to a special farming technique using carbon dioxide gas and temperature control, all astringency is removed, ensuring a succulent sweetness in every bite of fruit. Mini Persimmons are completely seed-free and best enjoyed without peeling. Savor the crisp, nutrient-rich skin along with the enchanting sweetness of the soft, nectary first bite.
