Minimal Launches Individually Wrapped Chocolate Baumkuchen for the Winter Season

Japanese specialty chocolate shop Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate (https://mini-mal.tokyo/) is set to brighten the winter festivities with the launch of its new product, Minimal Baum - Cut - (6 bags of 2 varieties). Available from December 16, 2025 online and from December 24, 2025 in stores, this elegant dessert makes for a perfect seasonal gift.

The newly introduced Baumkuchen comes in an assortment featuring two delicious flavors: a rich Chocolate and a luxurious Blond Chocolate reminiscent of milk caramel, packaged in individual servings for a delightful tasting experience. Gifts for loved ones just got a whole lot sweeter!

This delightful Baumkuchen is the result of extensive research into balancing the traditionally heavy combination of chocolate and Baumkuchen, with a keen focus on each element—taste, aroma, and texture. Minimal’s dedication to crafting chocolate with care has culminated in this unique treat. It elegantly intertwines the dual attractions of satisfaction and lightness, offering a distinctive taste that leaves you wanting more. Enjoy the enveloping aroma of rich chocolate as you take a bite, followed by a refreshing, light aftertaste that adds to its addictive charm.

Experience Two Unique Flavors

1. Chocolate Baumkuchen – Crafted with Tanzanian cocoa beans known for their fruit-like sweetness, this chocolate is mixed generously into the dough, yielding a moist texture. The result is a harmonious balance of rich chocolate flavor and aromatic delight, making it truly irresistible.

2. Blond Chocolate Baumkuchen – This special variant features roasted white chocolate, combined to elevate the dough's flavor profile significantly. This results in a deliciously gentle sweetness akin to milk caramel, with a refined flavor that suits a variety of palates. The Blond Chocolate offers not just a treat but a comforting, familiar taste experience, perfect for both casual indulgence and elegant gifting.
