Product lineup using citrus from an island in the Seto Inland Sea.
Only the freshest fruits, when sweetness and aroma are at their peak, are squeezed whole with their peels near the farm (※1) to extract the juice.
Amanatsu
The fresh and aromatic special Amanatsu, delivered from a citrus island in the Seto Inland Sea, is carefully processed in a factory located immediately next to its production area. Only seasonal fruits that have reached their peak sweetness and aroma are selected for juicing and processing.
(※1) Amanatsu harvested in Hiroshima and Ehime prefectures are processed on the island while still fresh.
To bring out the aroma and juiciness of the Amanatsu as it is, a non-heated, unpasteurized whole-fruit squeezing method including the peel is adopted. By using dedicated equipment that minimizes damage to the fruit's components and squeezing in a short time without excessive stress on the fruit, the inherent umami and aroma of the citrus are locked in. The 'Amanatsu Financier' and 'Petit Gâteau Assortis ' are sweets crafted by carefully blending this seasonal juice, born from over 30 years of connection between the production area and Henri Charpentier, into the Financier dough at Henri Charpentier's confectionery workshop.

Only the finest Amanatsu, when their sweetness and aroma are at their peak, are carefully selected.

Please enjoy this summer-only masterpiece, where the aroma and juiciness of Amanatsu refreshingly match the rich flavor of the financier.
