Yukawa Brand My Rice Cultivation Experience

[Connecting with the Earth, the ultimate self-sufficiency experience] Bonds and emotions nurtured in the 'Yukawa Brand My Rice Cultivation Experience' event

Yukawa Village, known for producing the most luxurious rice in the Aizu Basin. The 'Yukawa Brand My Rice Cultivation Experience' held here every year is a special program where consumers take center stage and cultivate their own 'best vote' throughout the year. The feel of the mud, the scent of the wind, and the golden glow. A journey that touches the cycle of life begins here, something that cannot be experienced through a screen.

■ From spring to autumn, a 'story of rice growth' told through the five senses

The highlight of this experience is the ability to feel the changing seasons from rice planting to harvest.

• Joy of rice planting: In spring, the coldness and warmth of the rice fields felt with bare feet. The sensation of becoming one with the earth through the handwork of planting each seedling captivates both adults and children.
• Harvest of abundance: In autumn, the sense of accomplishment at the moment of cutting the fully ripened rice ears with a sickle. The joy of tasting the rice you have grown as 'new rice' is an unparalleled blissful moment.

■ A warm exchange connecting with the 'thoughts of producers'

Not just a mere work experience, but the opportunity to interact directly with local skilled farmers is what makes Yukawa unique.

• Inheritance of wisdom: By directly hearing about the struggles and ingenuity of rice cultivation, the weight of a bowl of white rice changes.
• To Yukawa fans: The smiles and conversations born through the experience. By the time the harvest is over, Yukawa Village will surely feel like a second hometown.

Returning to the roots of food and nurturing 'the deliciousness of the future' with your own hands is a luxury. Would you like to spend a special time surrounded by the rich nature of Aizu, satisfying both your heart and stomach?
