Indulge in the Exquisite Peach and Chocolate Shaved Ice Experience at Minimal
Get ready to beat the summer heat with a delightful twist on traditional Kakigori (Japanese shaved ice)! Beginning August 1, 2025, Minimal – Bean to Bar Chocolate, a renowned specialty chocolate shop in Tokyo, will introduce a limited-edition dessert: the "Chocolate Shaved Ice - Peach." This exquisite creation is available until September 30, 2025, and promises to tantalize taste buds with its luxurious blend of flavors.
A Fruity Fusion
At the heart of this delightful dessert is the combination of luscious peach and high-quality chocolate, specifically crafted to complement each other. Minimal utilizes
Arhuaco chocolate, derived from Colombian cacao beans known for their floral sweetness and fruity notes, which perfectly highlights the succulent essence of peach. Each serving contains layers of chocolate syrup nestled within the fluffy ice, along with a hidden scoop of chocolate ice cream that adds an extra layer of indulgence.
To elevate the experience further, a delicate white chocolate cream is perched atop the dessert, introducing a refreshing sweetness that balances the rich flavors.
A Symphony of Eight Delightful Components
The presentation of the dessert is nothing short of spectacular, showcasing eight beautifully crafted components that create a harmonious taste experience:
- - Sliced Peach
- - Peach Gelée
- - Peach Sauce
- - Diced Peach
- - Jasmine Jelly
- - Chocolate Ice Cream (Arhuaco)
- - Chocolate Sauce (Arhuaco)
- - White Chocolate Cream
Peach slices encircle the ice, while diced peach and gelée, cleverly infused with lemon, are hidden within, ensuring each bite reveals different textures and flavors. The inclusion of jasmine jelly adds an unexpected twist, harmonizing the chocolate and peach beautifully.
The Unique Craft of Arhuaco Chocolate
The
Arhuaco chocolate used in this dessert is celebrated for its unique flavor profile characterized by a complex acidity reminiscent of grapes and a floral aroma. Minimal’s chocolatiers employ an innovative method of freezing and grinding the cacao beans to preserve these intricate flavors. Combined with a low-temperature, quick roasting technique, they ensure that the chocolate retains its rich, fruity acidity and floral nuances.

The "Chocolate Shaved Ice - Peach" will be available for
1,750 yen (tax included) from August 1 to September 30, 2025. However, quantities are limited with only
