Using the reputation of its well-known carbonated drink, &#8220;Mitsuya Cider,&#8221; the firm has developed programs emphasizing a balanced relationship with nature and sustainable living.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company rolled out the &#8220;Mitsuya Open Air Relay&#8221; scheme via its official website on June 30. Each session lasts between two to three hours, with the inaugural session taking place 16 days post-launch. By year&#8217;s end, Asahi anticipates conducting roughly 90 sessions with an estimated total of 4,000 participants. The price per program varies from 3,000 to 10,000 yen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting in Itoshima City, located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Asahi plans to gradually expand the program to other regions. The firm will provide both in-person and remote experiences, offering home-delivered kits and online video content to customers residing further away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sessions are divided into three categories: &#8220;Savoring Nature,&#8221; &#8220;Savoring Food,&#8221; and &#8220;Savoring Creation.&#8221; Upon launch, offerings included a unique salt-making experience using seawater (priced at 5,500 yen) and a farm-to-table experience involving harvesting local vegetables and pizza making (priced at 7,150 yen). <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.asahiinryo.co.jp\/company\/newsrelease\/2023\/pick_0627.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asahi<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQODB295WS0Z20C23A6000000\/?n_cid=kobetsu\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikkei<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-154814\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fnn_mitsuya-proglam_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C630&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Asahi Launches Nature and Food Experiences in Itoshima\" width=\"1400\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fnn_mitsuya-proglam_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fnn_mitsuya-proglam_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C135&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fnn_mitsuya-proglam_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C461&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/fnn_mitsuya-proglam_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C346&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
