Kelowna, a beautiful sight facing the Okanagan Lake is, since 1981, a Sister City of Kasugai City of Central Japan. Kelowna, a multi-cultural City which refused to send to the Camps the citizens of the Japanese Community during WWII. We wish to learn and benefit from Kelowna's multi-culturalism. Its multi-cultural wineries include French, German and Italian wines. The First Nation also owns its-own winery. The Japanese Community in Kelowna do not produce wine and specializes in fruits farming. Among its products we wish to introduce to Central Japan the hascap berries, hybridized with Russian berries in Canada, coming originally from the Ainu Indigenous People of Hokkaido who is culturally very close to the Kelowna First Nation. Tasting Kelowna wines and hascap allows us to enjoy the multi-cultural tastes of Kelowna. It meets the SDGs Objectives 16 and 17, by developing an all-inclusive multi-cultural exchange crossing all national and cultural borders. Chubu University is in the process of developing hascap jam of less sugar content. Its nutritious value is high, the preservability is guaranteed, and a few tasting experiments prove that its taste is appreciated by the Central Japan consumers. (Seiko Hanochi)
