NO.001 — CHITIN

The smell of a Cantonese kitchen at dusk.

Koji prawn roe chilli oil · 100 ml

Shallots browning, shrimp drying, the last heat coming off the wok. At its core, a study in chitin — the structural compound shared by shrimp shells, koji, and mushroom. Things once alive, dried, fermented, rendered in oil. Bottled as faithfully as we could.
