Fermented cacao beans are spread out in a thin layer in the plaza in front of the village church to dry slowly under the sun. They are first placed for one day on a rough-paved surface furthest from the church, then moved to a finer-paved area closer to the church for two days, and finally transferred to a smoother surface for another three days of drying. Known worldwide as the \"Chuao Method,\" this drying technique is arguably the finest in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/3898\/9209\/files\/5_1.webp?v=1793257876\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with care using small-scale equipment.\u003cbr\u003eThe Chuao cacao beans that arrived at *green* were of exceptional quality—delicately fruity, with minimal bitterness or astringency.\u003cbr\u003eWe spent a year on trial production, focusing our efforts specifically on the conching process. Conching involves refining the chocolate by kneading it to reduce particle size, which ensures a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The friction generates heat, allowing unwanted volatile compounds to evaporate. If the kneading time is too short, the particles remain coarse, preventing a smooth finish; if it is too long, the delicate aromatics are lost. It is an incredibly nuanced process.\u003cbr\u003eTo achieve the perfect balance, we chose to use small conching machines—each with a capacity of only 1.5 kg—to ensure a meticulous production process. By using these smaller machines, we can refine the chocolate to its maximum level of smoothness while preserving the subtle, distinctive aromatics that make Chuao cacao so special.\u003cbr\u003eThe packaging is inspired by the church in the village of Chuao, with a vibrant color palette that reflects the diverse array of fruit aromas found in these beans.

Here, the water is concentrated over the course of about a month, powered entirely by natural energy from the sun and the wind. Once the seawater has reached a higher concentration, it is transferred to a secondary tank, where it is further reduced—over the span of two days and nights—to less than two-fifths of its original volume. When this concentrated brine is then boiled in a crystallization vessel, crystals begin to form, gradually emerging from the surface of the liquid. Describing the sight of these glistening, sparkling crystals, the second-generation proprietor, Hiromi, remarks, \"It feels just like a reward for all the time and effort invested over the past month.\" The resulting crystals are then processed through a centrifuge to separate them from the *nigari* (bittern), yielding pure, natural salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/3898\/9209\/files\/shio-story-2.webp?v=1793260048\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Special Power of the Full Moon\u003cbr\u003eWhen asked about the production method for \"Full Moon Shiho\" (salt), the answer is surprisingly simple: \"It’s exactly the same process.\" On the day of a full moon, crabs and shrimp molt, and corals release their eggs all at once—there is clearly some special force at work, yet much of it remains a mystery, still unexplained. Even so, using seawater collected on the day of a full moon leads to visible differences during the production process, such as the size of the salt crystals and the way impurities (scum) emerge.
