A crisp and fragrant Kyoto rice cake kneaded with cacao husks (cacao bean skins) with a bubble wrap texture and mellow cacao powder. Based on mineral-rich ancient wheat, beet sugar and other ingredients are added to the gentle sweetness, and each piece is carefully baked by craftsmen using a traditional manufacturing method that has been passed down for more than 100 years. It does not dare to use eggs, and is characterized by a simple taste that makes use of the gentle sweetness of cacao and the savory flavor of wheat. Recommended for afternoon snacks when you want to take a break.
〇 "Kyo confectionery Yoshinaga Kameya" supervises the recipe. Cacao-scented, Kyoto's new souvenir.
The recipe is supervised by "Kyo Confectionery Tsukasa Kameya Yoshinaga", a long-established Japanese confectionery shop in Kyoto that also develops the Kyoto confectionery brand "Yoshimura Wagashiten" that is gentle on the mind and body. We do not dare to use eggs, and we bake it with an original recipe only for GOOD CACAO, which makes use of the aroma of cacao and ancient wheat. A generous amount of roasted cacao has been added to the slightly sweet rice crackers that have been popular in Kyoto for a long time, and a new Kyoto senmochi with a gentle sweetness, aroma, and bubble wrap texture is completed. It can be used not only as a snack for yourself, but also as a casual gift for your loved ones or as a souvenir in Kyoto, regardless of the season.
〇 The secret of the flavorful deliciousness is two different types of cacao husks.
Cacao Kyosenbei uses two types of cacao husks (cacao bean skins) with different particle sizes. The chip-shaped husk has a delightful texture, and the more you bite into it, the more the aroma of cacao fills your mouth. The powdered husk gives it a sweet, fragrant, chocolatey flavor and taste.
Cacao husks are also rich in cacao polyphenols and dietary fiber. It is a material full of charm that is good for beauty and health.
〇 Delicious combination with drinks.
・Sencha
The slight sweetness of cacao kyo senbei is further enhanced by the umami and astringency of sencha. In particular, it goes well with the "cacao sencha" of the GOOD CACAO series.
・Hot milk
The mildness of the Khao Kyo rice crackers is further enhanced by the mellowness of the milk, and you can enjoy a slightly bitter cocoa-like taste.
・Plain hot water
You can feel the taste of cacao kyo senbei itself even more simply. Please enjoy the scent of cacao that escapes through your nose and the gentle melt in your mouth.
〇 Manufacture of products that are friendly to both people and the environment.
The cacao series, which uses cacao husks (cacao bean skins), is not only delicious, but also upcycling is one of its important objectives. When making bean-to-bar chocolate, cocoa husks, which make up about 30% of cocoa beans, are rarely utilized. Therefore, we are developing upcycled products that find value in cacao husks. By using these products, we contribute to reducing (reducing the amount of wasted waste as much as possible). We believe that purchasing whole cacao will lead to high-quality production.
〇 "GOOD CACAO" series.
The "GOOD CACAO" series brings out the full charm of cacao, such as the soothing aroma of high-quality cacao purchased directly from producers who can see the face, and the unique richness and umami that create depth of taste. Not to mention cacao nibs, but also to the flavorful husk (cacao bean skin) created in the process of making bean-to-bar chocolate. Based on the concept of "all cacao is delicious," we will deliver a "cacao-scented moment" that will relieve your mind and body, which will also lead to cacao upcycling.
