Welcome to Shikoku on one of the hottest days of the summer!

Japan is always trying to find ways to improve life.

That could include Technology, Accomodation,

This time I'm in Zentsuji in Kagawa Prefecture

to try a favorite food of mine that has evolved

Before we head to the farm and warehouse,

Let's take a look at those watermelons on sale in Tokyo

The square watermelon is like a piece of treasure,

which can be as high as this even more abroad.

When you have a square watermelon, you want to show it off.

When they are, they are around 18 to 20,000 yen in Tokyo.

What makes these watermelons so valuable?

The average price is 10,000 to 20,000 yen each.

although its rarity can affect the market price.

We have to travel to the smallest of Japan's 4 main islands.

Just outside the City of Takamatsu lies Zentsuji

Situated on the 88 temple Shikoku pilgrimage route.

and the square watermelons are grown right down there.

but it sure has some things to see and do.

Nearby is a small temple dedicated to child bearing

Kagawa has some of the best Udon noodles in japan.

and Zentsuji is loaded with self - serve Sanuki Udon restaurants.

Cool down from your pilgrimage with some gold icecream.

The square watermelon adventure starts in the watermelon field

where Yamashita-san shows me how they are grown.

Not all of the watermelons here are grown into cubes.

It doesn't take long before you find one.

which the farmers have been using for many years

and the box stabilized on a wooden plank.

It's not easy to make a square watermelon,

but on bad years, it can yield as few as 70.

Every year, Zentsuji farmers get a little better at making them.

The finished square watermelons are taken

to a cooperative warehouse for packaging.

and distributed typically starting at the end of June.

Zentsuji farmers do all the packaging themselves.

The sticker is the official seal for the square watermelon.

The square watermelon fits perfectly in the 18 cm box.

A guide for decorating it with a ribbon is enclosed.

A fork lift carries each farmers' watermelons
