■What is "Minami no Shio Nerunyu Coffee" using homemade salt from Minami?
Salt condensed milk coffee, originating in Vietnam, is a drink that enhances the original aroma and richness of coffee by layering the rich sweetness of condensed milk with a touch of salt. Our "Minami no Shio Nerunyu Coffee" uses homemade salt made from the seawater of Minami. The homemade salt, produced on the Kaike coast where the underground water from Mt. Daisen flows, is characterized by its abundance of minerals from the Sea of Japan.
Focusing on salt's ability to "enhance sweetness," we have created a mellow and deeply flavored taste.
Product Name: "Minami no Shio Nerunyu Coffee"
Price: 650 yen (tax included)
Available for dine-in and take-out.
■Background of Developing an Iced Drink that Highlights the New Appeal of Homemade Salt
The inspiration to combine salt and condensed milk coffee came from the development of coffee drinks that utilize our homemade salt. Initially, we experimented with simple drinks combining salt and coffee. While salt enhanced the depth and aroma of coffee in hot versions, we found that it brought out too much bitterness in iced versions.
This led us to focus on "salt condensed milk coffee," popular in Vietnam. By adding the mellow sweetness and richness of condensed milk, we achieved a harmonious balance between the saltiness and the coffee's bitterness, creating a smooth and easy-to-drink iced beverage.
Furthermore, our store has been researching the "salt x condensed milk" combination in our dorayaki product development. We had already realized through the development of our previous salt x condensed milk dorayaki that salt enhances the richness and sweetness of condensed milk, leaving a clean aftertaste.
We applied this know-how to our drinks, pursuing a balance where the individuality of the homemade salt, condensed milk, and coffee harmonizes. This drink, recommended for summer, was born from our unique perspective, starting from the salt-making process.
