Summer means SUIKA

Japanese love their watermelon in the summer and are prepared to pay big bucks for the pleasure of eating a nice juicy one. Coming from NZ we take them for granted a little. So next time you see one on the roadside or at the supermarket, think of us here in Japan paying $20 US a pop.
Big MAHALO to our neighbours, for this slice of heaven all the way from Niigata.
