Japanese Yubari Melon

Yubari Melon is Japan’s most luxurious cantaloupe, celebrated for its extraordinary sweetness, rich flavor, and flawless presentation. Grown exclusively in Yubari, Hokkaido, each melon is cultivated in mineral-rich volcanic soil within individual greenhouses, where temperature extremes create unparalleled depth of flavor.

Expert farmers dedicate themselves to growing just one fruit per vine, meticulously nurturing it from pollination to harvest. This results in a melon with an intensely sweet, concentrated flavor profile layered with notes of honey and vanilla, and a firm yet tender texture.

Each Yubari melon is hand-selected for its perfectly round shape and beautiful netted rind, making it a symbol of premium Japanese gifting. It’s an exquisite choice for special celebrations, as a luxurious dessert centerpiece, or simply enjoyed on its own for a truly memorable indulgence.

To check if it’s ready to enjoy, gently press the bottom center of the melon. If it yields slightly, it has reached peak ripeness and is ready to reveal its honeyed perfection.

Shelf life is relatively short so highly recommended to eat as soon as its ripe. 

Before cutting, the Yubari Melon should be stored at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Once sliced, the melon should be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. We recommend enjoying the melon within seven to ten days of delivery for the full experience.

Depending on the destination, cold packs may be included to maintain the ideal temperature. Every melon is cushioned and boxed securely to prevent any bruising.
