I wonder if the rainy season will end soon
With that feeling, one topic for summer ahead (laughs)

Oh, watermelon?
Oh my god, the tree is full of little watermelons!

And recently it became a topic at the office (^ ^)
This is Okinawa sparrow gourd,
It is said that another name is Yama Goya.
It is a small fruit with a diameter of 2 to 3 cm,
It looks like a miniature watermelon (*^∇^*)
However, as the name suggests, the taste is not only bitter,
It seems to be poisonous and not edible.

The fruit seems to turn red over time,
Another staff arranged it for me,
It looks so cute (*^^*)

By the way, speaking of watermelon in Okinawa,
Watermelon from Nakijin is famous!
Since the location will be in the north,
It's quite far from Yomitan village,
It is popular because it is very sweet and delicious (・∇・)ノ
