A Unique Chocolate Experience Awaits You this Summer at Minimal

Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate, a specialty chocolate shop based in Tokyo, is excited to announce a special summer edition of its unique chocolate experience course, aptly named “Minimal Cacao Chocolate Course - Sense of Wonder.” Available from July 1 to September 30, 2025, this limited-time offering promises to captivate chocolate lovers with its creative dishes and delightful pairings.

A Close Look at the Menu

The highlight of the summer course is the Mole Hamburger, a fascinating take on the traditional Mexican dish. This burger features pulled pork seasoned with a Cajun-style rub and smoked to perfection, topped with a rich chocolate sauce known as Mole, skillfully crafted using Ghanaian cacao mass blended with various ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, butter, and soy sauce. To elevate the flavor, the burger is served on a freshly baked bun, complemented by Tokyo's handmade fresh cheese from Cheese Stand, lettuce, and tomato, delivering a robustly flavorful experience that highlights the unique cacao notes.

In addition to the main dish, guests can also indulge in a refreshing chocolate kakigori (shaved ice) made from a delightful blend of Classic and Savory chocolates. This dessert captures the authentic sweetness of cacao, featuring a rich assortment of herbaceous and spicy flavors, topped with sweet condensed milk for a touch of creamy delight.

Moreover, the experience includes a trio of distinct ice cream flavors crafted from cacao, allowing diners to explore the rich profiles of Ghanaian cacao, the fruity undertones of the Arhuaco variety, and the caramel-like sweetness of roasted white chocolate known as Blonde.

Get Ready for More Surprises

The 8-dish course goes above and beyond with additional offerings such as two varieties of cassata, delicious granola, and a cacao pulp beer, with non-alcoholic options available as well. Guests can delight in beverages like the refreshing Cacao Pulp Soda or explore Japanese craft beers from T.Y. HARBOR and premium sakes from Niigata, paired perfectly with the flavors of the course. Drinks curated from exceptional producers across Japan ensure a rich tasting experience.
