In this special collaboration with Michigan-based chocolatier Crow & Moss, Eva Masaki sourced a rare salt—Akō Aranami sea salt—from her mother's village of Akō, Japan. Harvested from the Seto Inland Sea, the coarse, raw salt is refined in an Akō-produced bittern (the concentrated liquid left after brine evaporation) using centuries-old traditional methods. Known for its mellow flavor and mineral-rich composition, Akō Aranami salt is revered by Michelin-starred Japanese chefs and was designated Japan Heritage status in 2019.

In this limited-edition blend, Akō Aranami salt is paired with single-origin India Anamalai chocolate. Crow & Moss—led by professional baker and chocolatier Mike Davies and family—operates a workshop (the "chocolatery") in Petoskey, Michigan. Davies worked closely with Eva to harmonize this distinctive pairing.
