★ Connect your home to Alternative Farm Miyako's experiential tourist farm online via Zoom. Use the experience kit delivered in advance to experience the full charm of sugarcane, from sugarcane cultivation to brown sugar production. ➤ We've commercialized the delicious, fun, and educational brown sugar-making experience normally offered at our tourist farm in Miyakojima so you can experience it remotely from the comfort of your own home. ➤ You'll be guided by a farmer who practices experiential tourism, from cultivation to brown sugar production in Miyakojima, Okinawa, and you'll be amazed and impressed by the experience. ➤ This remote experience covers everything from ① sugarcane cultivation and seedling planting to ② nibbling on the stalks to ③ brown sugar burning. ➤ It takes about a year for sugarcane to mature, and we'll cover cultivation techniques with the goal of nibbling on the sweet stalks. ➤ Learn "from field to table"! We'll use videos, photos, and pamphlets to clearly explain the process of turning sugarcane into brown sugar and granulated sugar. ➤ One experience kit can be enjoyed by 1 to 4 people.
Freshly made, piping hot brown sugar is delicious
Freshly made piping hot raw brown sugar can be topped with your favorite toppings, such as granola, black sesame seeds, and peanuts. It's even more delicious because you make it yourself! It's sure to become a masterpiece you'll be proud of!
Sugarcane tastes just like pears and watermelons
Sugarcane is a fresh crop, just like vegetables and fruits. When you taste its fresh, fruity flavor, you'll be surprised and forget about the image of sugarcane as a raw material.
Trying to grow sugarcane, a houseplant you can chew!
Sugarcane was once cultivated within Edo Castle. It is even sold as a houseplant in Hawaii. Try growing it yourself after a year, until you can bite into it.

Purchase Notice

Regarding cancellation of the event:

In the unlikely event that we are unable to deliver the experience kit due to a typhoon, or if a typhoon-related power outage prevents internet connection, the event will be canceled.

Please note the following when participating in this course:

Burn Caution: When cooking brown sugar, the brown sugar syrup reaches a high temperature of 120°C. The syrup does not flow smoothly like hot water and sticks to the skin, so be careful not to splash it. Cut Caution: When dividing the sugarcane into four pieces for nibbling, be careful with the knife as the sugarcane is hard. This step must be performed by an adult. Child Support: To ensure safety, children must be junior high school age or older to experience brown sugar cooking alone. Adult support is required for younger children. Best Before Date: Since sugarcane is a fresh crop, after receiving the product, store the nibble stalks in the refrigerator to avoid drying out (approximately 3-5 days). Use as soon as possible.

Other important points to note:

We recommend that you review the following before the day of the remote experience. 〇 YouTube channel explanatory video on brown sugar making https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOCb4GAmtrU 〇 Instruction materials: Instructions for use (Document P7) 〇 Reading through the pamphlet "A taste of the charm of sugarcane and bananas" will help you gain a deeper understanding of the crops. Preparations before the start on the day 〇 Please have the items you need to prepare for the remote experience (Document P2) ready and ready. 〇 Please access the URL we sent you from a device with a camera and microphone (PC, smartphone, tablet) to join the meeting. We will prepare it so that you can access it 10 minutes before the meeting.
