A delicious and fun farm-to-table experience in Okinawa guided by an organic sugarcane and banana farmer!
Highlights
Tour the sugarcane fields of Okinawa with a local farmer.
Try freshly harvested and squeezed sugarcane! As sugarcane is a fresh crop like vegetables and fruits, freshness greatly affects quality.
Tour the banana fields! Miyakojima's native island banana is characterized by its sweet and sour refreshing acidity.
Learn to make a delicious dessert, enjoying the apple pie-like taste of banana caramelized with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Experience Details
Head to stunning, subtropical Okinawa to experience the charm of life on an organic farm in Japan. Guided by an organic sugarcane and banana farmer, you’ll learn about the various farming tools and methods and try your hand at harvesting raw Okinawan sugarcane, from chopping the sugarcane to extracting its juices.
This organic farm-to-table experience in Okinawa is hands-on and interactive! After harvesting and taking a bite of the sugarcane, you’ll squeeze it with a hand-operated press, and sample the 100% fresh juice. Finally, you can witness as condensed sugarcane juice is turned into brown sugar, and you’ll be able to take a bag of the delicious final product back as a souvenir!
After the Okinawan sugarcane experience, you’ll tour the banana fields. Then, you’ll combine the two delicious Okinawan products to make a tasty dessert of caramelized banana with brown sugar and banana ice cream.
This farm-to-table experience in Okinawa is perfect for families, tropical island lovers, and anybody with a sweet tooth. The farm tour is offered all year long, though the winter harvest of sugarcane is particularly sweet. Learn about farm culture in Japan, tasting organic Okinawan sugarcane and bananas right at the source!
