Description

A sugary sweet, deep crimson watermelon from Kumamoto, Japan. The skin is thin and dark green, nearly black. The flesh is super firm, sparsely seeded and intensely sweet. Watermelon growing is serious business in Kumamoto; the fruit from this region is famously delicious and rigorously tested for high brix content and firm flesh! With its distinctive dark skin and sweet flesh, this Kurokodama cultivar is related to the famous Densuke Black Diamond watermelons grown only in small quantities on the island of Hokkaido, but it is much smaller and doesn’t typically command the same high prices at market.
