I remember after seeing that topic and the subsequent price of black sesame ice cream I bought an ice cream machine and made some myself.ohh nice, how'd it come out? make any other cool flavors?
Hey I am a real fan too, I just have memory troubles.i appreciate you too <3
You ate cement? ( O_o)i dont have screenshots handy, but one time I accidentally made 6 duplicate topics because the request wouldn't go through and I kept spamming the button. They since deactivated the button after you click it once lol. The topic title was "eatin cement" and it was a pic of some grey colored black sesame ice cream I was eating :b
Their reply will be the problem has been taken care ofNOOO I DONT WANT HIM TO GET HURT!! I tried to be polite in the email...
I have a question real quick. How old was that melon juice when you tested it and was it refrigerated the entire time?So I had sliced the remaining melon about a day prior and it was in the fridge in an airtight container. The melon juice was left on the plate after I ate a slice, and I allowed it to come to room temp for about 15 mins (this was recommended for using the refractometer)
Eating cement arc still the bestREAL TeaMilk fan right here

No , it just reminded me of something else sorry. I apologize.What?? Why is your cum green?!
That bowl of juice doesnt look right.Whats wrong with it?? That's the color of melon juice
Is that a melon wallet?Yes <3
Are you going to order ruby roman grapes next?Nah I'm not big on grapes tbh :b I might consider getting fancy strawberries
People who try them in videos always praise it as the best melon everYou have a point, its just so strange it seems universally described that way, and yet everyone who's tried my melon has independently commented on its lack of sweetness
On one hand first hand experience with something when it comes to listening to others can give you valuable insight. On the other hand people often have a tendency to try to justify high price tags on items they have purchased and its hard for them to view things honestly without injecting lofty praise onto said purchase.
We see this all the time on a wide arrange of purchases.
STOP RIGHT THERE, YOU'RE ON YOUR WAY TO GET THIS POOR MAN FIRED. Seiji tried his best to get you THE sweetest melon Japan's soil can offer you and this is how you repay him? You doubt the melon's sweetness? After he worked months to get you the perfect melon?<img src="https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/0/07e2e783.jpg">MR. NISHIDA NOOO.... I would never want to harm your livelihood, its surely just my uncultured American palette.... gomennasaiNah but for real test that shit.
Did you shake hands with the melon and say "Melon! You son of a bitch!"I slit its stem mercilessly, then cleaved it in half and gutted it
This level of investment in functionally random subject matter is what I miss about the old internetJust so you know, I collect cute melon themed objects. Here are a few of my favorites
If you still have some left, experiment with some. Add a little salt to this slice, a little pepper to that one (heard a long time ago pepper greatly enhances strawberries), a little sugar, maybe some cinnamon or paprika?huh it's worth a try, I do have about half the melon left (although I'm reserving some for ppl). I'm willing to try sugar or salt
America being over the top? Never! But yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. And the melon is probably a more natural sweet vs HFCS we put in everything here.I get that, but I'm comparing the sweetness to other melons/fruits I've had. Also any melon flavored thing I've had is of east asian origin. I got some really nice jp melon ice bars with real melon puree recently... The melon flavor was super strong there and I even thought it was too sweet. The lack of sweetness did seem odd to me, and that's also the first thing my gf commented on when she tried it
DESCRIBE THE TEXTURE and other qualities i guessThe texture is very soft and tender, so much that they recommend eating it with a spoon. It's VERY juicy, but not mushy or mealy like some melons will get when they're overripe. I preferred just biting into the slice so you can slurp up the juice, otherwise you lose too much of it. It smells like a cantaloupe with a bit more richness to it? I'm not sure what kind of vocabulary to use lol
You gotta try the Ukiyo-banare Melon next. $500.Omg yeah I saw that, I think even i will draw the line there... it sounded crazy though, the farmer emails you monthly updates on your melon and stuff
I kid. But I am interested in hearing how this one is.
They sell Galia melons at H mart if you have any near you. I dunno if they taste exactly like the Japanese ones but they're green flesh & netted rind all the same.oh huh, they do look pretty different tbh, but i'd like to try one sometime
It depends on area, so we can't really tell you either. Like, the first thing that shows up for me is doordash ( https://www.doordash.com/products/mayan-pride-honeydew-melon/urpc_40c71283-de70-4b9b-9bec-1376cfc5a47c?gQT=1 ) but with no location your best bet would be to just shop around.that's so bizarre, they're calling that a honeydew, but i'm pretty sure honeydew are known for having a smooth waxy rind. idfk what that is, melon naming conventions are so inconsistent
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6536c494.jpgI DON'T KNOW WHERE TO GET GREEN FLESH NETTED RIND MELONS IN THE US!! (I'VE TRIED!!)
Technically you'll be mutilating the corpse, it was slaughtered in Japan.yummers
Can you take more pictures of the packaging? I'm kind of fascinated with the presentation hereSorry I forgot to reply to this cuz my phone died yesterday right after I took the pics :p
I honestly don't think there's enough headroom on a normal melon for one to taste like 50x as good.Yeah I get it lol, I don't expect the quality to scale with the price exactly. But I do expect it to be significantly better than a normal melon, and I'm willing to pay $180 to try it
Like, if you imagine an airplane that can fly at 30k feet, I mean, no matter what you do or how much money you spend, you're not going to fly a plane 50 times higher than that. There's just not that much sky.
Likewise, I just don't think the tasty scale even goes 50 times as high as a normal melon. I'm not convinced it even goes 3 times as high as a normal melon.
pretty sure most melons aren't climactic, so they dont ripen after picking. they soften up some, like a pineapple, but that's from rot and fermentation. they never become more sweet.Yeah, seems like letting it ripen is about letting it get real juicy and developing the flavor. It already has a super high sugar content, cuz they only let one melon develop per plant
This topic is edging me man, I wanna know what the melon is like alreadyim sorry lmao, i keep checking but its still totally hard on the bottom. They make a big deal about eating it at its peak ripeness so i don't want to cut into it too early
How can you tell when it's perfect ripeness?so the website and pamphlet says to wait until the bottom is a little soft to the touch, and the ends of the stem are a bit wilted. It recommends 3-5 days after delivery (It was delivered on the 3rd)
Inb4 TC gets addicted and buys one every week>_> I can see it being a yearly thing or something if I really like it
Woe, that's really pretty.yeah i love how they look, they put in a bunch of maintenance to make sure the netting develops evenly and stuff
You made me go out and buy all the melon in the worldoh hell yeah, idk if ive ever had a galia melon actually, but those melon candies are pretty tasty. Love the color of that drink too

This is your fault.
This is the melon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galia_melon
I'm kinda interested in hearing how it tastes.It's looking like it might not be ready til Sunday or Monday (I'm keeping an eye on it) so maybe i should have waited a bit to make the topic lol
Ive never seen one of those outside a video game.im p sure i first saw these types of melons in some video game and i've been intrigued by them ever since
How much do the seeds cost? >_>idk, i actually don't see any for sale when i do a quick search. I'll def preserve the ones I get out of this melon, but I don't have the means to grow it where I live. I'd happily send them to someone who wants to try though
Where did you order it from?here! https://ikigaifruits.com/collections/japanese-melons/products/crown-melon seems like this variety is available year-round
dunno how I missed that line if it tastes like honeydew are you just going to ghost us?Naw ill be honest lol. Im pretty confident the texture will be different though, these guys look juicy and creamy as fuck
No you're cool turbam u can have some <3
So, what did it taste like?
Doesn't seem ripe yet, hopefully in a few days I can try it though
As far as I can tell "crown" melon is just a luxury branding for elon musk melons. . It's not even like the square watermelons that have novelty aspect.Muskmelon is a pretty vaguely defined category, it can include cantaloupes and a ton of other types of melons. It wasn't rly important to me that this was a crown melon, but I really wanted to try a green flesh melon w/ netting that honestly doesn't seem to have a colloquial term
Hope its taste lives up to its price.
This is some luxury trollingWhy can't a guy enjoy a fancy melon once in their life. How is this trolling
Thats quite literally a honeydewDo you see the fucking netting, go look at a honeydew and tell me that's a honeydew
Yoshi's love these thingsYosshys are chill as fuck and know how to enjoy life
I'm pretty sure that thing just tastes like honeydewNo it dont

While probably true, it's a bit complicated. If you guys want to know the 100% unbridled truth behind what's happening, and probably the biggest things keeping me upset, I'd rather keep it to PMs. I would actually appreciate it since I really need to tell someone.You're welcome to PM me if you want, idk if I can help but ill listen
How does yours work ? Iirc the vast majority of hoas are houses? You have your own garage and stuff like that?I do have an attached garage, but not all units in the condo do. Basically I share walls w/other units and I have people living above me. Afaik im free to remodel the inside of my place, but I couldn't do something like paint the front door or the outside. They pay for stuff like cleaning gutters and landscaping the common areas, we don't have anything nice like a pool or clubhouse though.
