Experience the Luxury of Seasonal Fondant Chocolat This Winter

A Festive Delight: Seasonal Fondant Chocolat

As winter casts its magic, Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate - presents a luxurious dessert to warm your spirit: the limited edition Fondant Chocolat featuring apple and Sanbokan citrus. Available at Patisserie Minimal in Soshigaya-Okura from December 20, 2025, this decadent treat perfectly blends rich chocolate and vibrant fruits, creating an unforgettable experience for your taste buds.

Seasonal Indulgence

This hot and gooey fondant chocolat is a special creation available only during winter. At Patisserie Minimal, a chocolate-centric patisserie, desserts are crafted seasonally, incorporating fresh, local fruits with exquisite chocolate. This winter, the fondant chocolat features a beautifully gooey center filled with warm chocolate, complemented by a rich blonde chocolate ice cream, fresh apples, and zesty Sanbokan citrus topped with raspberry sauce. It's a treat that captures the essence of the season in every bite.

Unique Flavor Combination

The chocolate used in the fondant is crafted from Tanzanian cacao beans, known for their fruity notes reminiscent of apples. This premium chocolate balances the rich flavors with a lighter, fresher profile. To enhance this winter charm, spices such as cinnamon, ginger, and cardamom are added, creating a depth of flavor and a warm, inviting aroma.

Surrounding the fondant, you'll find fresh “Granny Smith” apples from the Marukame Orchard in Nagano, served as a tart compote and jam. These apples, along with the aromatic Sanbokan from Wakayama, creates a perfect marriage of flavors, as their sweet-tangy profile beautifully complements the decadent chocolate. The refreshing taste of seasonal fruits ensures that even a rich dessert feels lively and balanced, leaving you satisfied without feeling heavy.

The Harmony of Warm and Cold

Adding to this magnificent dish is a scoop of caramel-flavored blonde chocolate ice cream. This cold treat is made from roasted white chocolate, providing a delightful contrast between hot and cold. As it slowly melts into the fondant, the creamy, caramel undertones mingle with the rich chocolate experience, elevating your taste journey.

Additionally, the raspberry sauce rounds out the dish with its bright acidity and subtle sweetness. Carefully crafted with ripe raspberries and a hint of red wine, it adds a splash of color and complexity, enriching the palate with its fragrant notes and inviting layers.

Taste the Winter Luxury

The Fondant Chocolat - Apple and Sanbokan is priced at 2,600 (tax included) and will be available on weekends from December 20, 2025, to February 1, 2026. Reservations will open on December 6, 2025, at 10:00 AM, allowing eager fans to secure their festive experience.
