Embrace Autumn with Minimal's Exclusive Drink

As the leaves begin to change and a crispness fills the air, Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate - captivates the season's spirit with its new limited-time offering: the "Kinmitsu-imo Chocolate Drink." Starting September 1, 2025, customers can indulge in this delicious fall specialty at all Minimal locations, with the exception of the Patisserie Minimal shop in Soshigaya-Ohashi, where it will be available from September 3 instead.

This delightful drink showcases the luxurious sweetness of "Kinmitsu-imo," a type of sweet potato cultivated with care at Ishida Farm in Chiba Prefecture. The drink combines this rich flavor with high-cacao chocolate to create a sumptuous yet refreshing experience, perfect for autumn.

A Symphony of Flavors

The foundation of this chocolate drink lies in a carefully crafted blend of cacao from Ghana and Haiti, ensuring a cocoa content of over 70%. The drink is designed to provide intense satisfaction while leaving a clean, light finish on the palate—allowing drinkers to savor the sweetness without overwhelming heaviness. Topped with whipped cream and house-made sauce from the Kinmitsu-imo, each sip bursts with the essence of the season. For those who delight in texture, diced sweet potato pieces further enrich the experience, adding both flavor and substance.

To elevate the flavors, the iced variant includes a hint of coffee, providing an invigorating aftertaste that invigorates the senses. On the other hand, the hot drink features an added layer of richness by incorporating fresh cream, resulting in an incredibly smooth and deep taste profile.

Available for a price of ¥890 (tax included), both the hot and iced options cater to customers whether they choose to dine in or take away. Note that prices slightly differ at the Azabudai Hills location, where the takeout price is ¥900, and dining in costs ¥1,000.

This seasonal drink will not only warm your spirits as the cooler weather approaches but also make for a perfect companion on a leisurely autumn afternoon or as a comforting treat on-the-go.
