International Chocolate Awards - Silver

2014

At a Japanese teppanyaki grill, the final dish features garlic rice with sizzling shoyu soy sauce, releasing a tempting aroma. Chef Koyama captures this essence in chocolate by blending heated soy sauce with fresh cream, sealing it in a 40% cacao chocolat au lait.


A layer of powdered soy sauce from Kyoto's Shimogamo Saryo, with hints of yuzu and spicy ichimi chili pepper, tops the ganache. This blend of umami and sweetness creates a unique, melt-in-the-mouth experience, reflecting the artistry of Japanese cuisine.
