Let's get an explanation of the experience from the guide.
① First, we will guide you through organic sugarcane and banana plantations. We will explain the ecology, cultivation, and processing points of each.
② Cut down the sugarcane in the field with an axe, and try chewing on it or squeezing out the juice and drinking it right there.
③ Heat the brown sugar syrup in a frying pan and cook it yourself until it turns into brown sugar. Add your favorite toppings to create your own original flavor.
④ Next, let's make a dessert using bananas! We'll caramelize island bananas in the same pan used to cook the brown sugar and make baked bananas. Serve with our special banana ice cream. We'll wrap up the brown sugar you made so you can take it home.
⑤ We will introduce sugarcane processed products and process the data service for your experience photos.
