Can anyone describe the taste of this fruit?

I have read about japan having a square watermelon. That's right. A square watermelon.
Was it genetically modified or what?
Thanks.

Yes, I remember when I first read about square watermelons in the news. They've been around for a while now. It's actually relatively easy (or at least it sounds easy!) to get a square watermelon: you grow it in a square mold. I think it takes extra care and checking though, or perhaps they don't all turn out perfectly, which is why they cost so much. Saying that, certain fruit in Japan is expensive anyway, if it's thought to have an especially delicious flavor, or if it just looks perfect.
To answer your first question, as for the taste of square watermelon, it tastes exactly like any other watermelon, I believe!

Haha, just as I thought. It still tastes like watermelon. So that's how they make it square! They grow it on a square mold, ingenious and creative.
