In closing
At DAIJU PARK in Tokushima Prefecture, you can buy butter sandwiches and other sweets made with sugarcane grown on the company’s own farm. It also apparently has a cafe serving Tokushima-exclusive parfaits, pancakes, and shaved ice, as well as sugarcane and sweet potato harvesting experiences, markets, and other events! Maybe we should take a trip there someday!
