Kusatsu Melon

When you slice into it, succulent juice overflows. With just one bite, a melt-in-your-mouth sweetness spreads throughout your mouth. Kusatsu Melon is a summer specialty nurtured in Kusatsu City, on the shores of Lake Biwa. Cultivation began in 1982, and JA Lake Shiga manages everything from cultivation to inspection and shipping. Through over 40 years of accumulated expertise, it has achieved one of the highest sugar contents in the country. The peak season is from early to mid-July. It is popular as an Ochuugen (mid-year gift) or for various presents, often causing long lines at direct sales offices. In 2016, it was officially registered as a regional brand trademark. It is the pride of Kusatsu, with many people eagerly awaiting its arrival each summer.
