Its perfect shape, sweetness, and exclusivity have earned it the title of “King of Japanese Fruits.” This variety of muskmelon is grown artisanally in the city of Fukuroi, carefully controlling every variable: temperature, humidity, and light. Only the best fruit from each plant reaches the market. A true luxury.

Almost spherical shape, T-shaped stem, and a refined texture and fragrance. An unmistakable fruit and, according to Japan’s top chefs, the best way to finish a menu.

The Crown Melon is classified into four quality grades — Fuji, Yama, Shiro, and Yuki — based on its shape and netting. A Fuji melon can exceed €3,000. Akaneya is the first and only restaurant in Europe to serve it.
