This additive-free, 100% pure juice made from watermelon is healthy and lets you enjoy the condensed, fresh flavors of the watermelon. “KANGEKI,” which reads the same as the Japanese word meaning “impressed,” is an original brand of Yamakawa Farm grown in pursuit of the sweetness and delicious tastes of each vegetable and fruit, and carries the hope of the farm to impress its customers with the delicious taste of its products. Among them, “KANGEKI Odama (large) Watermelon” is one of the farm’s signature products which is a big hit every summer. Because watermelon’s flavor is spoiled when heated, the watermelons are pressed in the cold press method and flash-frozen immediately to retain the extremely sweet flavors and aroma.
Yamakawa Farm is a family-own farm opened in 1913 in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Surrounded its three sides by the sea, the farm is blessed with a warm climate, plenty of sunlight and mineral-rich sea breeze, offering an excellent environment for growing vegetables and fruits that are delicious and large in size.
The KANGEKI brand products are cultivated with utmost care in a special soil prepared with an abundance of organic fertilizers. And only the carefully selected watermelons that are perfect in size and shape with no scarring are delivered to customers. However, as a result, many watermelons were not shipped and sadly discarded every year due to their substandard size or shape in spite of all the time and effort put into growing them. The idea of making this product was born with the desire to address the issue of food loss while also allowing more customers to enjoy the delicious taste of the watermelons throughout the year.
