Every year it seems, the media happily mentions the arrival of the season’s first gorgeously un-globe-like members of the gourd family, complete with a picture of several Japanese ladies happily handling a plethora of marvellously proportioned melons.
However, seeing such beauties in the wild as it were is still relatively rare, but they are indeed real,
and really not very round.

Eric below is probably about right. Maybe even a bit more. But this one wasn’t for sale. It seemed to be for display purposes only.
You’ll be please to know though that the rest of the fancy fruit nearby was absolutely ludicrously priced!

Hey isn’t that last year’s photo? Hehe.
They’ve got pyramid suica in a Shibuya shop now too.
Lee says
Nah, took this one Saturday. Honest!
With squares and now pyramids done, no doubt it’ll be dodecahedrons next year…

A round shape would always be the most convenient for eating though….
