A Unique Winter Delight: Minimal's Strawberry Parfait

Minimal, renowned for its specialty chocolate offerings, has announced the arrival of a limited-time winter strawberry parfait at its Patisserie Minimal location in Soshigaya-Ohashi, set to launch on December 20, 2025. This interactive dessert experience features skilled pâtissiers crafting parfaits right before your eyes, enhancing the joy of this decadent winter treat.

The Joy of Strawberries and Chocolate

This year's parfait celebrates the delightful combination of fresh strawberries and rich chocolate. Shoppers can feast on a carefully curated selection of seasonal fruits paired with chocolate, representing the harmony of flavors. The strawberry parfait is a product of an exquisite collaboration, incorporating fresh strawberries from Ibaraki's Kazehaya Strawberry Farm and strawberry jam from Kagawa's Ichigoya Mei. Seasonal changes may alter the contents slightly, but rest assured, the essence of that winter flavor will remain intact.

Craftsmanship in Every Layer

The parfait comprises 13 distinct components that exhibit a keen attention to detail, all crafted to bring strawberry and chocolate flavors to life. Patrons can enjoy the refreshing tartness of strawberries along with chocolate-infused ice creams and cheesecake, making for a delightful combination.

The lower layer includes a refreshing lychee sorbet offering a zesty contrast, alongside a delightful marshmallow made with cacao pulp, and rich strawberry jam providing a burst of flavors. Each element combines harmoniously with fruity chocolate made from high-quality cacao sourced from Madagascar, resulting in a sophisticated and vibrant taste experience.

Exquisite Chocolate Creations

Placed beneath the fresh strawberries is a chocolate ice cream made from Madagascar's cacao beans, keying in on berry notes that complement the strawberries' tartness perfectly. Following the juicy strawberries, guests are encouraged to savor how well the chocolate cooperates with the overall design of the parfait.

In the middle section, a rich yet refreshing chocolate rare cheesecake made with Colombian cacao beans, hinting at grape-like flavors, alongside rum raisins and pistachios, adds depth to this stunning dessert. The rich creaminess of the cheesecake perfectly balances the sweet-tangy strawberries, bringing a satisfying finish to every bite.
