I think the "small experimental venture" in Honshu villages is a reference to Noriko, because Ganu wasn't interested in Slusho until he found the secret ingredient.

It makes sense, though - Noriko wasn't just making drinks for herself. She was trying to make the tastiest beverage ever, etc. So, she probably had/ran a company of her own, albeit a small one compared to Targuato.

The question is: when did Danno Jo become part of Targuato? From the Slusho! History, it seems like Danno Jo took over Noriko's tasty-beverage venture/company, while Ganu went off to do his deep-sea drilling by rehabilitating Targuato, as an oil-drilling company, and nothing more. It wasn't until Ganu found the DSN that he became interested in Noriko's venture. Once he realized he could use the DSN in a beverage, he brought Danno Jo into the fold at Targuato, and Noriko's lil' company became "Slusho!" Does that make sense?

EDIT: A related question is: why did Noriko suddenly feel compelled to go on a "sea adventure" to find the "most tastiest ingredient in the world"?

Yeah you are probably right , it just started to grow when Ganu came back.

Read the stickies.

Site was found by googling 'Sea Nectar' and then trying Tagruato.jp by chance.

Let's do some blues riff in b, watch me for the changes, and uh, ...

I know I already mentioned it (as well as 100 others most likely), but it seems plausible that the deep sea excavation process in Chaui could lead to an archaeological discovery of some ancient (prehistoric) giant (monstrous) extinct form of life.

Red Walrus ...
Do the extremophile's you've mentioned lie dormant under extreme cold temps, and become active upon "thawing" so to speak??

If this is the case, perhaps the "discovery" of the ancient extinct form of life would perhaps do the same.

Tagruato is probably ecstatic over another seemingly "priceless" discovery due to their exclusive technologies.
Perhaps this "discovery" comes into consciousness as it thaws out of its pressurized, frozen slumber and begins wandering around the mass of land nearest its proximity.

It could awaken on it's way to the surface...or perhaps it awakens while in isolation on dry land in the city somewhere.

Perhaps people know of this "big discovery" but are under the impression it is lifeless.

Help me out here guys... Confused

Noriko Yoshida dedicated her life to refreshment! Her classmates called her the smallest Whale because she would drink endless amounts of beverages at every meal.

Truth was Noriko loved libations so much, and drank so much, she did not join while the other children opened their fun, she rather experimented with flavor mixtures - combining different fruits, vegetables and other ingredients naturally grown form her father's (Ryouta Yoshida) farm to make great new beverages.

Her deliciousness made her loved throughout many towns and villanges on Honshu.

And every year she would try to beat herself by coming up with a new flavor mixture, so unique to anything else - she was never satisfied!

But tragedy struck for the Smallest Whale! Noriko set off on a sea adventure to find the greatest, most tastiest ingredient to the world, and was never heard from again!

Noriko was obsessed from a young age to experiment and find the tastiest ingredient in the world.
It seems once her search encompassed all of the organics on Ryouta's farm and through out all the land in general,
and she still was insatiable, she set off to a destination not yet searched...the sea .

It's meant to be frozen but it was said that one one of the AGR sites that the people in america took a great liking to mixing slusho with other alchoholic drinks. Perhaps this, along with it no longer being frozen/near frozen is a cause or a clue in this ever growing mystery.

It doesn't say anything about the people of america :

"Slusho! has grown to the second most popular frozen drink in all Asian markets. Hip adult drinkers have begun concocting deliciously intoxicating alcoholic mix drinks starring Slusho! "

Thanks, it was something i skimmed over and wasn't sure. Embarassed

That announcement was Dec 18th of last year---was the new platform made from the ocean floor up?

Wow. I totally missed all that. Yeah. It sounds like they are talking about talking about massive underwater construction.

I'm beginning to believe a little in the "awakened creature" theory.

t seems to me to make quite a lot of sense. This almost makes Ganu Danno Jo seem like oppurtunists who like to take ideas and not create them. (Stretching that thought)... Well, what if they find a/the monster and try to control it? What if they've tried it before? What if now they actually know how?

Ooh! Ooh!

What if the creature is indeed a genetically created/or prehistorically awaken then controlled (or many of such) entities who Tagruato is using to build (or clear the way) for their underwater construction?

They never specifically said _what_ the under sea technology was that enabled them to do what other companies couldn't!

Drilling and excavation equipment manufactureed by Bold Futura that allows them to explore deeper than anyone else...

Our scientists and engineers have created drilling technology that can withstand degrees of extreme pressure, cold, and heat never before thought possible.
This groundbreaking feat of industrial triumph allows for research and retrieval in areas previously unexplored by man....
From the Arctic Ocean to the Mid-Atlantic ridge, we go deep.
Capable of excavation at distances exceeding 7,000 meters of water and 9,200 meters of seabed, the greatest depths of the oceans have been opened for business.
The implications are vast and bountiful.
Tagruato boasts sole ownership of the functionality designs implemented in our drilling stations.
This gives us unparalleled access to the natural resources that lie below the ocean floor.
Namely Petroleum, the most sought-after resource in the world.

What they don't seem to highlight is the other form of crude (DSN) that they are extracting. Confused

Plus there is this from the investor news:

Tagruato drilling page wrote:

Next time you drive by a large construction site demolishing a building or putting up new infrastructure, imagine it underwater.

Such is the latest directive of the Tagruato corporation. Company spokeswoman Suzume Soga announced this week that Tagruato has long been developing vehicles and machinery that will operate at the same capacity as the bulldozers and cranes you pass on the freeway each day, but also function at the ocean's greatest depths. COO Danno Jo, right hand man and cousin of CEO Ganu Yoshida, has been overseeing the revolutionary project.

"There are great reservoirs under the ocean floor that no one can get to due to obstruction by physical elements," explained Jo at the December 18th press conference. "With these new technologies in place, Tagruato will destroy any barrier."

Another benefit of these new technologies is the ability to actually construct drilling stations from the ground up. In the past, the process has been to build the various parts of the station in Tagruato's mainland factories, ship them across the oceans on aircraft carriers, and then reassemble them underwater. The process can be costly and time consuming.

"We can now skip that step," said Danno. "In a perfect world, we'll never have to work from the surface again."

That's the one that makes me think they'll make some type of lifeless (dormant Rolling Eyes

archeological discovery in terms of the monster.

I'm thinking that slusho......... isn't going to be a big deal in the grand scheme of all of this. I think we are going to find out more and more about this Tagruato Corperation. Possibly through its subsidiaries, one by one. Next up possibly the next most innocent: parafFun and then possibly to the medical research or Bold Futura. Each subsidiary leading us to believe Tagruato is a little shady. Each will have ties to this deep sea product, which will probably tie everything together and be the link to the monster in some way. I think we may even be past the whole slusho thing and we need to have our sights set on Tagruato by way of its other subsidiaries.

Finch, I think you've hit the nail on the head. I know there are many people here who agree with you though it hasn't been posted on this particular thread.

Keep digging past the Slusho. It's a distraction. An interesting distraction, but still a distraction.
