Various types of melon are grown in Japan. The king is Yubari melon, a brand from Hokkaido with incredibly sweet and delicious bright-orange flesh. Yubari melon and other brand melons certified by the Ministry of Agriculture are expensive and typically purchased for use as fancy gifts. You can sometimes find them at reasonable prices in supermarkets, but they are generally sold at first-class fruit shops. Melon pan (sweet bun with melon-like crust) and bright green melon soda are also popular in Japan. Both are delicious and worth trying, but be forewarned that neither tastes at all like melon.
