Japanese Renon Orange Flesh Melon 1pc

Renon is a red-fleshed net melon developed by Takii Seeds and grown primarily in Ibaraki, Aomori and Kumamoto, among other producing regions across Japan. The skin is a grey-green with a fine net pattern, and inside the flesh is a vivid, deep orange — richly sweet, exceptionally juicy, and clean-tasting without any cloying heaviness. The variety is notable for its relatively small seed cavity, which means a greater proportion of the fruit is edible, and the flesh runs beautifully close to the skin. At its peak — when the base gives gently to pressure and a faint sweetness is detectable from the stem end — Renon is one of the more satisfying summer melons grown in Japan. It is best eaten chilled, simply cut into wedges or sliced and served as it is. The season runs from June through August.
