Fresh Juice from Sugarcane

I tried making juice from sugarcane I got as a souvenir from Okinawa. The process involves peeling, crushing, and squeezing, but be careful of injuries and noise. I wanted to recreate the delicious juice I had during a harvest experience in June, but couldn't find detailed instructions online, so I came up with my own version. This way, I finally managed to use up the fresh sugarcane before it spoiled.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Check if the sealed bag is swollen or if the sugarcane has a sour smell.
- 2
To reduce noise, place a cloth or towel under the cutting board. Stand the sugarcane upright and make a thick cut with a knife from the end.
- 3
Once the knife has cut in a bit, let go of the sugarcane and tap it on the cutting board (keep your hand away from the blade's path).
- 4
When about 2 inches remain, hold the sugarcane with your left hand and twist the knife to peel it off. Repeat this around the entire cane.
- 5
Remove any remaining light green skin thickly. Leaving hard parts can strain the food processor, so be bold.
- 6
Rinse lightly with water, then slice into rounds. Remove any hard skin, nodes, or red discolored parts that are difficult to cut.
- 7
Fill the food processor to about a quarter of its capacity, as it will expand when crushed. Turn it on for 30-40 seconds.
- 8
It should look like this.
- 9
Place an appropriate amount in a damp, tightly wrung cloth or gauze and squeeze firmly. (The photo shows a large gauze from a dollar store folded in half and doubled.)
- 10
It should look like this. Transfer to a glass and repeat. About 100 ml (3.4 oz) was obtained from five 8-inch pieces.
- 11
Add ice and lemon or Shikuwasa juice for a refreshing taste. If it's too sweet, dilute with a little water or soda water.
- 12
Adding ice and soda is also delicious.
- 13
Boiling it down as is will make molasses. Adding lime to remove sediment and controlling the temperature while boiling and cooling can also make brown sugar.
- 14
A lot of pulp will be left over. The photo shows the pulp from twenty 8-inch pieces.
- 15
The pulp can be mixed into soil (along with lime), but even a small amount attracts many bugs, so be careful.

Thank you for many views! Changed step 4 from lifting the knife to twisting the knife. Added a sentence to step 15. (2021/03/29)

Simple! Fruit Kanten Made with Your Favorite Juice Simple! Fruit Kanten Made with Your Favorite Juice
I wanted to make a snack with my kids. Store-bought kanten has a bit of a peculiar smell to it, and didn't really want to use it to make a snack, so I simply made it at home. It is pretty and colorful, refreshingly healthy, and fun. This just might become my summer dessert.The constitution and texture of the jelly will vary according to the kanten. It will fall apart if there is too much water. You can make this as sweet as you like, but there won't be much water if there is too much sugar. It will become a bit watery if you don't eat it right away, but please dish it up along with that water. You can also make this with vegetable juice. Recipe by Mikki-an cookpad.japan -
