We sincerely apologize to customers who saw our Instagram post and were considering booking on the original date for any inconvenience and disruption this may cause.
We kindly ask for your understanding.
🍈 A "supreme organic melon" with finely textured flesh and an elegant aroma.
The melons carefully grown in Organic Nico's greenhouses are safe and secure organic melons (variety: Mondo) cultivated under strict management.
With just one bite, the finely textured, juicy flesh releases an elegant sweetness and rich aroma. Experience the exquisite taste and special harvest moment that will overturn your preconceived notions of organic farming firsthand.

👨🌾 Producer Introduction: Organic Nico's Commitment
🌱 A fusion of "fluffy soil creation" that allows microorganisms to thrive and "cutting-edge technology"
At Organic Nico, we aim for the health and well-being of everyone involved: the people who produce our products, the people who eat them, and the land (the Earth) that sustains them.
The secret to its deliciousness lies in our meticulous "soil preparation." By using wheat bran, sesame oil cake, and other ingredients to vigorously increase beneficial microorganisms in the soil, we create nutrient-rich, fluffy soil that maximizes the power of nature.
Furthermore, in addition to utilizing the natural ecosystem, we have introduced our own cutting-edge IT environmental control systems to scientifically control the optimal environment (temperature, sunlight, etc.) for melon photosynthesis. Through this advanced approach that combines data with the blessings of nature, we have achieved the cultivation of safe, secure, and surprisingly flavorful organic melons.
✋ Please note
- The melons that you will be sampling on-site on the day of the event will have been harvested in advance and ripened to their peak deliciousness.
- Please take the two melons you harvest home and let them ripen before eating. (The farmer will provide detailed information on how long it will take for them to ripen on the day of your visit.)
- Please wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes such as sneakers.
- The experience will take place inside a greenhouse, so it will proceed regardless of rain.
- When harvesting melons, you will need to bend down a little.
- Because we use organic farming methods, natural insects and other creatures may inhabit the greenhouse. Please be aware of this in advance.
- Insects may be attracted to strong perfume scents. Please refrain from wearing perfume on the day of your experience.
