Japanese Pippu Akiurara Red Muskmelon

$48.00–$54.00

Hokkaido Pippu Autumn Beauty Melon 秋麗 (Akiurara) is a seasonal red-fleshed melon grown in Pippu, Hokkaido, at the foot of the Daisetsuzan mountain range. The region’s cool climate and pronounced day-to-night temperature differences create favourable conditions for developing its rich flavour and fragrance.

Inside, the salmon-orange flesh is juicy, richly sweet and aromatic, with a firm yet smooth texture that gives way to a wonderfully succulent bite. 秋麗 (Akiurara) is especially known as an autumn-season melon, offering a deeper, mellow sweetness and generous juice as it reaches peak ripeness.
