With gratitude for the finest, perfectly ripe sunflower melon!

Thursday, July 17, 2025

After patiently waiting for it to fully ripen, we enjoyed a melon parfait with meltingly ripe sunflower melon and ice cream!

The over-ripe melon is at its sweetest!!!

Along with a rich aroma, it has a texture that melts in your mouth and is sweet.

The melon parfait is made with yogurt, rum-soaked dried fruit, mixed nut cookies, vanilla ice cream, and topped with a curled-up melon! It is also garnished with seasonal cherries.

The coldness and sweetness of the ice cream go perfectly with the melon, enhancing its deliciousness even more!

When removing the seeds and cutting the melon, the juice that spills out can be used to make juice together with the fruit!!!

Choose the ripeness of the melon depending on your preference - firm, soft, or melt-in-your-mouth!

The ripeness changes depending on the temperature at the time of year, so determining when they are ripe can be quite a challenge!

With boundless love, gratitude and prayers, we offer this exquisite sunflower melon, which can only be enjoyed at this moment in midsummer!
