Yubari King

The Yubari King is a hybrid of two types of cantaloupes, cultivated in greenhouses in, Yubari, a small Japanese city near Hokkaido. It is a top-grade melon with a perfectly round shape, an exceptionally smooth rind, and a very expensive one – a pair of Yubari melons were sold at an auction in 2008 for 3 million yen or around $27,000.
