Village in the Shade Aging Barrel Guide
The Aging Barrel, first documented here as 熟成樽, has two explicit routes: Soybean becomes Miso and a compatible meat-category input becomes Aged Meat. Both current product records take 3 days.
The short version
Two outputs. One machine family.
Craft the base barrel at a Workbench with Wood ×20 and Sticky Sap ×3. The upgrade is a larger load, not a verified speed multiplier.

How to Unlock the Aging Barrel
Reach the Shrine tier, learn the node, then build the physical machine.
- 1. Reach Shrine Repair Stage 3.The repair stage opens the relevant portion of the skill tree. It does not place a barrel in your home.
- 2. Learn 熟成樽.The verified Shrine cost is Twin Magatama ×3 and Bronze Mirror ×1. No other currency is added to this node.
- 3. Gather construction materials.Use the separate Workbench recipe: Wood ×20, Sticky Sap ×3.
- 4. Craft at the Workbench.The base machine's listed sell value is ¥52. Fuel, placement limit and maximum count remain unverified.

Production routes
Aging Barrel Recipes
The current explicit set contains exactly two outputs. Input and output quantities remain unverified unless the source says otherwise.
| Input | Output | Processing time | Base sell value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eligible Game Meat肉類 | Aged Meat熟成肉 | 3 days | ¥199 | The current source names the meat category but does not publish an exhaustive item whitelist. |
| Soybean大豆 | Miso味噌 | 3 days | ¥190 | Soybean is the documented input. Harvested Summer Edamame is a separate crop state. |
Processing records and this page share the same two Aging Barrel recipe IDs. No third 2-day Aging Barrel output was found in the current repository audit.
Soybean boundary
Soybean is not harvested Summer Edamame
Miso uses the Soybean item, written as 大豆 in the Japanese record.
Grow and carry the crop through the seasonal conversion before using it here. The dedicated Miso Guide owns that Edamame-to-Soybean walkthrough; this page owns the machine route.
Meat boundary
Compatible meat category, not every meat item
The source record names 肉類, but does not provide a complete item whitelist.
The structured record preserves the category relationship as game-meat. Small Game Meat, Large Game Meat, Beef, Pork, Chicken, Turkey, already-smoked meat and cursed or special meat are not individually confirmed here.
Timer reconciliation
Why the skill says 2-3 days while both recipes say 3 days
Keep generic machine copy and item-specific processing records separate.

Upgrade
熟成樽/改: Upgraded Aging Barrel
The upgrade changes the load boundary and keeps the documented 3-day processing time.
Verified capacity
Up to 3 materials at once
This means the source permits a larger material load. It does not establish three outputs, three batches per day, faster processing or mixed-input queue behavior.

Keep outputs on their owning pages
The machine page answers the conversion. Other pages own acquisition, cooking, delivery and the full database.
Miso
Miso sells for ¥190, is listed in the Processed Goods delivery group and is a valid Cooking ingredient boundary; the current repository does not publish a specific Miso dish crosswalk.
Aged Meat
Aged Meat has a verified base sell value of ¥199. A complete downstream use list and profit ranking are not established.

Quality and branding carryover through either Aging Barrel route are unverified. Keep Branded Soybean reserved for its documented delivery use until preservation is confirmed.

Aging Barrel Questions
Short answers for the unlock, materials, timers, meat boundary and upgrade.
How do I unlock the Aging Barrel?
Reach Shrine Repair Stage 3, learn the skill with Twin Magatama ×3 and Bronze Mirror ×1, then craft the machine at a Workbench.
What is the Aging Barrel Workbench recipe?
Use Wood ×20 and Sticky Sap ×3. Sticky Sap is a construction material here, not a separately documented per-batch fuel.
How do I make Miso?
Process Soybean in the Aging Barrel for 3 days. Harvested Summer Edamame is a separate crop state.
What meat works in the Aging Barrel?
The explicit recipe is attached to the game's meat category. The current source set does not publish an exhaustive item-level whitelist, so do not assume every meat item is accepted.
What does the Upgraded Aging Barrel change?
The upgrade is learned at Repair Stage 5, uses the documented upgrade recipe and accepts up to 3 materials at once. A speed increase is not verified.
