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 the lead 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, one that cannot be experienced through a screen.

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

The charm of this experience lies in the ability to feel the changing seasons from rice planting to harvest.

• The 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.
• The harvest of fruition: In autumn, the sense of achievement at the moment of cutting the ripe rice ears with a sickle. The joy of tasting the rice you have grown as 'new rice' is an irreplaceable moment of bliss.

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

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

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

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