From the roasted sweets can series with the aroma of cacao, perfect for Japanese tea, a matcha financier made with Uji matcha has been released. Made with carefully selected stone-milled matcha from Kyoto Prefecture. The slight bitterness of the cacao husk, the bitterness and richness of matcha, and the sweetness of condensed milk are an excellent match. By adding salt as a secret ingredient, not only does it enhance matcha's characteristic astringency and bitterness, but also its sweetness and umami, resulting in a well-balanced taste. This upcycled product uses Miyama Milk's whey*1 and cacao husk (cacao bean skin). Filling it into cans also allows for long-term storage. You can always enjoy freshly made flavors. Brew refreshing Japanese tea and enjoy a relaxing moment.
〇 Luxuriously used matcha from Kyoto Prefecture
A secret ingredient for a well-balanced taste.
We are particular about the unique flavors unique to Kyoto, the heart of tea, and use carefully selected stone-milled Uji matcha. By grinding with a stone mill instead of a machine, the matcha grains are uniform, allowing you to enjoy higher quality, more aromatic, and smooth matcha. To further enhance the flavor of this matcha, the Kyoto Matcha Financier uses salt as a secret ingredient. Not only does it bring out the umami of matcha and cacao, but it also achieves a well-balanced taste.
〇 Kyoto × Upcycled Baked Goods
A series of baked sweets you can eat with Japanese tea.
From the "GOOD CACAO" series, which offers upcycled products made from cacao husks (cacao bean skins) that are usually discarded, a baked confectionery can series has been introduced. The slightly bitter cacao flavor and the fluffy, light finish of baked sweets made by whey pair perfectly with the gentle aroma of Japanese tea. Whey uses Miyama milk from Kyoto, which is familiar to Kyoto residents. While local dairy farmers were struggling with how to use whey, this upcycled food series stepped up and led to the development of this product. Also, by canning, long-term storage is possible. Once you open the can, you can always enjoy it deliciously.
〇 Deliciously utilizing whey, which would otherwise be discarded
Kyoto-grown Miyama milk made in nature.
Miyama Town in Kyoto, known for its 'Thatched Village of Thatched Roofs' with many thatched houses, is a region blessed with rich natural beauty. Miyama Milk is produced from dairy cows raised in fresh air and clean water. Miyama Milk is produced in a very small-scale environment, with only two dairy farms in Miyama Town raising about 100 heads, and the pasteurization method is traditional pasteurization. Because of this, it is filled with a handmade feel and is popular for its flavor that condenses the blessings of nature. Whey is the liquid part released during the production of yogurt and cheese, which is usually discarded, but recently it has gained attention as a low-fat, high-protein ingredient. Using this whey results in a moist and fluffy financier.
〇 Good-lasting sweets for gifts or presents
Once you open the can, it's always in perfect time.
Focus on the fact that baked sweets usually have a short shelf life and are prone to discard. By filling baked sweets into cans, the shelf life is extended to 12 months. Once you open the can, you can enjoy the freshly made taste anytime, making it a recommended food stockpile as well. Its Japanese-style design also blends well with tea cans, making it a delightful gift or souvenir.
〇 Engaged in upcycling cacao. Creating products that are kind to both people and the environment.
The Cacao Series, which utilizes cacao husks (cacao bean skins), is not only delicious but also has an important purpose for upcycling. When making bean-to-bar chocolate, the cacao husk, which makes up about 30% of the cacao beans, is rarely utilized. Therefore, we are developing upcycled products that recognize value in cacao husks. By using these products, we contribute to reducing (minimizing unnecessary waste as much as possible) and food loss. We believe that sourcing whole cacao leads to higher-quality production.
〇 The "GOOD CACAO" series.
The "GOOD CACAO" series brings out the full appeal of cacao, including the soothing aroma of high-quality cacao sourced directly from producers you can see with their faces, and the unique richness and umami that add depth to the taste. Of course, there are cocoa nibs, but also the fragrant husks (cacao bean skins) that are born during the bean-to-bar chocolate making process. With the concept of "Deliciously making all the whole cacao delicious," we deliver a "moment of cacao-fragrant scent" that also upcycles cacao, comforting both your mind and body.
