It is a tropical fruit with a distinctive pineapple-like visual. Many places on Ishigaki Island and Miyako Island entertain tourists with dishes using adan leaves and shoots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Adan berries, as pineapple-like as they look, give off a pineapple-like sweet and sour aroma. However, as mentioned above, the leaves and shoots of adang are mainly used for cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The first reason for this is that the berries are very hard. Adan berries are 4 to 6 cm in diameter, and are tightly packed together. The skin is so hard that it is difficult to pull the fruit out. They also need to be drained, otherwise you will feel a tingling and numb sensation in your mouth. Because of the above-mentioned cooking processes and complications, they are not often used in cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/archives\/tour\/561\/\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:6px 18px;font-size:14px;line-height:21px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:6px;-moz-border-radius:6px;-webkit-border-radius:6px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:14px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> Click here to book Kabira Bay SUP<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-button-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ishigaki-pipi.com\/en\/activity\/#header2\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-glass\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#00bac9;border-color:#0095a1;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Button Description\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:8px 24px;font-size:18px;line-height:27px;border-color:#4dcfda;border-radius:9px;-moz-border-radius:9px;-webkit-border-radius:9px;text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-moz-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000;-webkit-text-shadow:1px 1px 1px #000000\"><i class=\"sui sui-hand-o-right\" style=\"font-size:18px;color:#ffffff\"><\/i> You can also enjoy the same-day reservations!
