Experience the Indulgent Chocolate Shaved Ice at Minimal This Summer!

Discover the New Chocolate Shaved Ice at Minimal

This summer, treat yourself to an indulgent dessert at Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate, a specialty chocolate shop based in Tokyo. Starting from June 2, 2025, Minimal will be serving a unique chocolate shaved ice that promises to be a delightful respite from the heat until July 31.

A Unique Dessert Experience

The star of the show is their innovative chocolate shaved ice, which is garnished with thick layers of chocolate sauce and conceals a scoop of milk ice drizzled with hazelnut praline sauce. This dessert is not just about pleasing the eyes, but it also invites you to enjoy an intricately crafted experience that showcases the nuanced flavors of chocolate.

Chocolate and ice may seem like contrasting elements, but here, detailed attention is given to balance their temperatures, textures, and flavors, creating a harmonious delight that you won’t find anywhere else. This treat is designed for chocolate lovers who want to savor the complex characteristics of chocolate even during the sweltering summer months.

The Perfect Layers of Flavor

The chocolate shaved ice comprises four significant components that work in tandem:
1. Chocolate Jelly: This light jelly is made from 'NUTTY MILK' chocolate, which incorporates nutty flavors derived from cacao. It provides texture and a delightful taste contrast.
2. Cream: A rich chocolate cream made with 'CLASSIC' chocolate paired with an anglaise sauce offers a familiar sweetness, making it a perfect connector to the chocolate essence.
3. Hazelnut Praline Sauce: Infusing 'NUTTY SWEET' chocolate with hazelnuts, this sauce drizzled over the milk ice adds depth, enhancing the overall flavor profile with its creamy dimension.
4. Milk Ice: Crafted from eggs and milk, this ice maintains a gentle taste that complements the chocolate and gives the whole dessert a sense of unity.

Additionally, there are three sauces to accompany the dessert:

- Cream Sauce: A light and delightful topping that enhances the 'CLASSIC' chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate Sauce: A balance of flavors from both 'CLASSIC' and ‘SAVORY’ chocolates, this sauce is layered multiple times during the shaving process to ensure every bite is profound without overwhelming the palate.
- Condensed Milk: A drizzle adds extra sweetness for those who crave a richer experience.

All of these elements are combined to fully embrace the essence of chocolate, making this a must-try item this summer.
