The Japanese Melon is often linked to the more widespread cantaloupe and honeydew varieties. But the Japanese melon is far sweeter and juicier.
Japanese Melon, or musk melon, has a green skin, covered in whitish veins. Inside, it is also a pale green color, but it does not mean it is unripe. It has a honeyed, musky flavor with a lot of sweetness that stays on the tongue for a long time.
