For this chocolate, we intentionally use beans that were set aside during grading due to irregular size or appearance. Rather than focusing on form, we chose to honour the strength and depth of their flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAdzuki and cacao, beyond the notion of Japanese and Western, we approached them simply as bean and bean — equal ingredients. Through repeated refinement of roasting and proportions, we drew out the gentle sweetness of adzuki and the rich aroma of cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe cacao quietly and faithfully enhances the roasted fragrance of the azuki. The first impression is the toasty aroma of cacao. Then the azuki unfolds, creating layers of roasted warmth. \u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eGradually, the cacao — rounded by the azuki — reveals itself with richness that remains light and elegant. In the end, the roasted notes of both beans and their gentle sweetness linger in a calm, refined finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGlossy and jewel-like in vibrancy, Noto’s azuki and cacao intertwine to create a chocolate with an elegant and beautiful aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIngredients: Cacao nibs, cane sugar, cocoa butter, Dainagon azuki beans, sea salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Chocolate Awards Asia Pacific 2026 - BRONZE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FILFIL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48952763285658,"sku":"FF-AUZ","price":138.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0316\/3186\/7948\/files\/FF-AUZ-5.jpg?v=1785849786","url":"https:\/\/cultdechoco.com\/products\/ff-auz","provider":"Cult de Choco","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
