Discover a World of Flavors with Minimal's Autumn Chocolate Parfait

As the leaves start to turn in autumn, there's no better time to indulge in a delectable dessert that celebrates the season. Minimal, a premier specialty chocolate store in Japan, is launching an exclusive autumn version of its "Bean to Bar Chocolate Parfait - CACAO JOURNEY" at its Tomigaya headquarters starting October 1, 2025. This limited-time offering invites dessert lovers to embark on a chocolate adventure that showcases the richness of fall flavors combined with the finest cacao from six different countries.

A Chocolate Adventure

The "Bean to Bar Chocolate Parfait - CACAO JOURNEY" is an artisanal delight that uniquely highlights diverse cacao beans sourced from around the globe. Minimal's skilled chocolatiers painstakingly craft chocolate that embodies the essence of its origins, making each bite a journey through various cacao-producing regions. This seasonal parfait features a harmonious blend of autumn's finest flavors paired with innovative textures, ideal for those looking to indulge their sweet tooth.

Savor the Autumn Flavors

This autumn, the parfait incorporates rich seasonal ingredients, notably the sweet and creamy "Kinmitsu Imo" (Japanese sweet potato) and luscious figs. These quintessential fall flavors are perfectly complemented by the six distinct cacao beans, forming a multi-layered dessert experience. As you dig into the parfait, you'll discover a transformation of cocoa flavors and textures that come together for a truly delightful tasting experience.

The Artistry of Layers

At the top, two types of chocolate ice cream showcase the rich flavors of Tanzanian cacao, characterized by fruity notes reminiscent of apples, alongside a refreshing "FRUITY MILK" chocolate. Even though both varieties offer a taste of cacao’s inherent fruitiness, the contrast in flavors and textures, including the luscious creaminess of milk chocolate, create a wonderful sensory balance.

As you progress through the parfait, indulge in the contrasting textures courtesy of a nutty chocolate cream and a crunchy crumble infused with flavors akin to grape jam. Not forgetting the addition of roasted sweet potato, the upper layers promise a satisfying depth and complexity that enhances the overall experience.

Refreshing Contrasts Below

In the lower layers, the parfait surprises with a refreshing cacao pulp sorbet, a fig-infused tea compote, and a red wine jelly (with the alcohol content cooked off for safety). The acidity of the cacao pulp cleverly bridges the rich sweet potato and fig layers, lending a refreshing finish that ties together the dessert beautifully.
