A quiet moment with cacao.
A small gathering where the spirit of cacao and tea meet.
In a space held by nature,
trace the journey from cacao fruit to chocolate through all five senses.
Small Kaiseki
Layering the aroma of cacao with the seasons of Japan.
From a single small dish, the experience quietly begins.
Cacao Fruit
The fruit of cacao carries a gentle acidity, like fresh fruit.
Cacao pulp juice and confections made with the fruit flesh.
Tasting the ingredient in its purest form.
Understanding Cacao
Cracking roasted cacao beans,
separating them into cacao nibs and cacao husk.
A moment to encounter the ingredient before it becomes chocolate.
Cacao Confections
A small Japanese confection that draws out the aroma of cacao nibs.
A flavor that quietly unfolds within the lingering moment.
Cacao-Ippuku
To close, one bowl of cacao.
100% cacao, whisked.
Rich, yet leaving a quiet lingering presence.
