INCREDIBLY SWEET DAIEI WATERMELON

The "Daiei Watermelon" is a large, juicy watermelon grown in Hokuei Town, one of Tottori's premier watermelon producing areas. 

With over 100 years of history, this popular variety is known for its crisp texture, exceptional sweetness, and abundant juiciness, making it perfect for hydration as the early summer heat sets in. 

Beloved by locals, "Daiei Watermelon" is frequently enjoyed by residents. During its peak season in June and July, it often appears in school lunches and is a staple at home. 

While you can find watermelons in supermarkets across the prefecture, the freshest ones are available at "Roadside Station Daiei" near the Aoyama Gosho Museum, which is close to the growing area. 

Be sure to visit while sightseeing!
