Father's Day is just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate the occasion than with a delightful treat? Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate, a pioneering specialty chocolate shop in Japan, is bringing back its limited edition coffee chocolate cake just in time for this special day. Crafted using high-quality specialty coffee, the cake offers a multi-layered indulgence that’s both captivating and delicious.
The cake, titled "Coffee生ガトーショコラ - STEP BLEND by ONIBUS COFFEE," is sure to please any palate. It garnered significant acclaim during White Day, and now it’s making a return, available for order online starting May 24, 2025, and in all shops from June 1, 2025. With a retail price of 3,990 yen (including tax), this delectable dessert is ideal for gifting. However, customers should act fast as only a limited quantity will be produced.
Four Layers of Flavor
The cake features a unique four-layer structure that elegantly showcases the rich flavors of specialty coffee. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect in each layer:
1.
Coffee Powder Chantilly: At the top lies a fluffy chantilly cream adorned with coffee powder, providing a visually appealing and delicious start.
2.
Espresso and White Chocolate Mousse: Below this is a light mousse mingling the vibrant flavors of ONIBUS COFFEE's STEP BLEND espresso with velvety white chocolate, creating a delightful and airy texture.
3.
Coffee Powder Infused Chocolate Cream: Next, a rich chocolate cream made from Ghanaian cocoa beans has been blended with coffee powder to serve as a delectable contrast.
4.
White Chocolate Coffee生ガトーショコラ: Lastly, a smooth chocolate cake infused with white chocolate and coffee powder brings a lovely balance to the dessert, enhanced by an espresso glaze on top for lasting aromatic enjoyment.
This sophisticated dessert not only looks stunning with its pristine layers but also resonates with the essence of minimalism and quality that Minimal embraces.
