$43 Melon


Title says it all. I had the good fortune of tasting one of these magical melons last year, very sweet, very delicious. The Japanese from what I've witnessed are very fruit friendly folks. I've never seen any other dessert in the public schools that wasn't fruit. Sometimes its just a half an orange, apple, kiwi or pear. The kids actually enjoy learning fruit names in English and frequently tell me their favorites. A strong contrast to the chocolate brownies and sugars cookies I was given in school.
