Kongo Watermelon of Henan Town
In Henan Town, which spreads across the foothills of Mount Kongo, sweet watermelons ripen in the summer. Known as 'Kongo Watermelon,' it is a local pride and specialty. The cool climate of the mountainous area at the foot of Mt. Kongo, combined with the large temperature fluctuations between day and night, allows the watermelons to concentrate their sweetness within the fruit. Its defining characteristics are a pleasant, crunchy texture and an elegant, refreshing sweetness. Chilled thoroughly and sliced into large pieces to bite into, the juicy flesh soaks into a body heated by the summer sun. As you feast on it, spitting out the seeds, memories of childhood summer vacations suddenly come rushing back. It is a seasonal tradition that heralds the arrival of summer in Henan Town.
