Kotobiki Melons

Premium Net Melons with Exceptional Sweetness and Juiciness

The Tango Peninsula, home to Kyotango City, is a treasure trove of agricultural and seafood products. The region benefits from clean water, significant temperature differences between day and night, and sandy soil well suited to growing fruit.

A Special Melon Named After Kotobikihama Beach

Kotobiki Melons are grown in Amino Town, Kyotango City, and take their name from the nearby scenic Kotobikihama Beach, famous for its singing sand, which makes a distinctive sound when walked on under suitable conditions.

Each plant is carefully cultivated to produce just one melon, allowing the fruit to develop fully. Only melons with a sugar content of at least 15 degrees Brix qualify to be sold as Kotobiki Melons.

Grown in sandy soil, these premium melons feature an elegant, dense network of white markings on their skin. Their thick flesh is exceptionally sweet and juicy, making them a sought-after seasonal delicacy.

Fresh from the Farm and Perfect for Gifts

At local farm-direct shops, visitors can enjoy freshly harvested melons picked that very morning. Kotobiki Melons are also popular as gifts, particularly for Japan’s summer gift-giving season.
