"Preservation turns memories and tastes into a diary."

The salty fragrance in the jar is a snapshot of the four season.
The laughter and song of the elders are awakened by the warm fragrance of fermented rice.
The sharing of meat by firelight embodies family bonds and blessings.

Curing, fermentation, smoking, and drying are all pens of time.
Seasons and thoughts are written down in the lexicon of the tastebud.
Preservation is how culture is sustained in everyday life, and remembered through sharing.

The smoke and fire of the Three Stone Oven are filled with the warmth of kindness and hospitality.

On the table are all the best foods of the season as well as the meat-sharing culture passed down through the generations. In the old days, elders would supervise the sharing to ensure equal portions for everyone. The sweetness of meat binds people together and represents the unspoken rules of “Fairness” and “Sharing.”

At Cyakang Community, culture is abundant and never runs out—just like the flavorful meat slowly cooked over a Three Stone Stove. Paired with fresh wild herbs, bamboo rice, and the aroma of smoked meat, every meal becomes a rich and memorable taste experience for the senses.
