〇 Kyoto × upcycled baked sweets, Japan tea and baked sweets can series.
A series of baked confectionery cans is now available from the "GOOD CACAO" series, which develops products made by upcycling cacao husks (cacao bean peels) that are usually thrown away. The slightly bitter cacao flavor and the fluffy and light finish of the whey make the baked goods a perfect match for the gentle aroma of Japan tea. The whey is made from Miyama milk from Kyoto, which is familiar to the people of Kyoto. When a local dairy farmer was struggling with how to use whey, the series, which is developing upcycled foods, came forward and led to the development of this product. In addition, it can be stored for a long time by canning. Once you open the can, you can always eat it deliciously.
〇 Delicious use of whey that would otherwise be discarded, Miyama milk from Kyoto made in nature.
Known for its "thatched village" where many thatched houses remain, Miyama-cho in Kyoto is an area blessed with abundant nature. Miyama milk is produced from dairy cows raised in delicious air and clean water. Miyama Milk is produced in a very small environment with only two dairy farms in Miyama Town and about 100 cows, and the sterilization method uses the old-fashioned pasteurization method. For that reason, it is full of handmade feeling and is gaining popularity as a taste that condenses the megumi of nature. Whey is the liquid part of the yogurt and cheese production process that is usually discarded, but recently it has been attracting attention as a low-fat, high-protein material. By using this whey, you will end up with a financier with a moist and fluffy texture.
〇 Sweets that last a long time as gifts and souvenirs. Whenever you open the can, you can eat it.
Focusing on the fact that baked goods usually have a short shelf life and are easy to discard. By filling the cans with baked goods, the shelf life is extended to 12 months. If you open the can, you can enjoy the freshly made taste at any time, so it is also recommended as a stockpile food. In addition, the Japanese-style design that fits in well with tea cans is sure to be appreciated as a small gift or souvenir.
〇 Work on upcycling cacao. Manufacturing 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 wasteful waste as much as possible) and reducing food loss. 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.
