On an afternoon when the signs of autumn are slowly deepening, it's a joy to enjoy a bite of red-fleshed melon from Watanabe Yasunori's farm in Hokuryu Town.
The rich aroma spreads softly, and the melting flesh gently touches the tongue. In that moment, the warm feelings of nature and the producers come together.
The white color of yogurt and the sweet aroma of vanilla ice cream are trapped inside a halved melon.
Round, hollowed-out fruit is garnished like petals, and a touch of brandy is added to finish it off - the luxurious fragrance will quietly envelop you in the autumn afternoon.
The sparkling golden color of hot marigold tea will soothe your soul and gently melt away the time.
A blissful melon parfait grown in the earth of Hokuryu Town, filled with boundless love, gratitude and prayers, and the sweetness of red-fleshed melons that play a miraculous melody like the bounty of the seasons and human warmth...
