White Corn 'Kyoto Mai Corn' with Sugar Content Over 20 Degrees: Enjoy in the Field, at the Table, and as a Gift. Rock Farm Kyoto Announces Three Ways to Enjoy Summer 2026

Rock Farm Kyoto Co., Ltd. (located in Kumiyama-cho, Kuse-gun, Kyoto Prefecture, representative: Shoichi Murata) will launch three plans for summer 2026 to enjoy the rare white corn 'Kyoto Mai Corn': 'Harvesting Experience', 'Direct Sales/Online Sales', and 'Gift Sales'. Kyoto Mai Corn is a white corn characterized by high sugar content and a juicy, fruit-like freshness. We deliver the seasonal taste grown in Kyoto's fields in various forms: the experience of harvesting in the field, time to enjoy at home, and gifts for loved ones.

In the fields of Kyoto, time for passion, smiles, and biting into corn

Summer in Kyoto's fields brings the season when white corn ripens.

'Kyoto Mai Corn' grown by Rock Farm Kyoto is a corn with a brilliant white appearance, strong sweetness, and juicy texture. Immediately after harvest, it can be eaten raw, and its sweetness surprises and moves many customers every year.

What is Kyoto Mai Corn?

It is a white corn from Kyoto Prefecture cultivated by Rock Farm Kyoto using unique cultivation techniques and soil preparation. The highest sugar content recorded is 22.4 degrees, offering a rich sweetness like fruit. Due to its rarity—the optimal harvest period is only 5 days—it attracts many reservations each year.

Bite-into-it experience program on the spot

'Kyoto Mai Corn Picking' is an experience program where visitors harvest Kyoto Mai Corn by hand at the fields in Kumiyama-cho operated by Rock Farm Kyoto. The freshly picked corn can be bitten into raw on the spot. In summer 2026, Rock Farm Kyoto will offer three plans to allow more people to enjoy Kyoto Mai Corn.

Three plans in 2026

◆Kyoto Mai Corn Picking 'Harvest Experience Plan'

A classic plan for the whole family. Enter the field, harvest Kyoto Mai Corn by hand, and enjoy biting into it on the spot. Harvest 10 corns for adults and 5 for children. Experience time in the field is about 30 minutes.

Period: Scheduled from Saturday, June 13, 2026 to Sunday, August 9, 2026.

◆Kyoto Mai Corn Picking 'Premium Food Experience Plan'

A special food experience plan created by representative Murata and famous Kyoto restaurants. Enjoy the rare Kyoto Mai Corn in the best cooking and space.

◆Kyoto Mai Corn Picking 'Early Morning Professional Farmer Experience Plan'

A professional morning guided by a former firefighting instructor. A full-fledged experience plan where you can witness the harvest judgment and selection process conducted by staff from 5:00 AM. Experience the 'before the deliciousness' of Kyoto Mai Corn.

*Details, participation fees, and schedules for each plan will be announced via official LINE.

Bringing children and agriculture a little closer

'Corn is like a summer hero for children. You can bite into it whole, fun outweighs manners, and eating it naturally brings smiles. Through the experience of harvesting in the field and eating on the spot, I hope it remains in children's memories.'

For Rock Farm Kyoto, which advocates 'Making Agriculture Cool,' Kyoto Mai Corn Picking is not an entry point for product sales but is positioned as the core content to change the perception of agriculture. The air in the field, the temperature of the soil, the feel of harvesting, the sweetness just picked. The summer experience received with the five senses becomes a child's primal experience, remaining as 'that summer's corn' even as they grow up.

Reservations accepted via official LINE

Reservations for Kyoto Mai Corn Picking 2026 will be accepted via official LINE. As in previous years, popular slots are likely to fill up immediately after acceptance opens, so early application and confirmation are recommended.
