Celebrate Seven Years of Minimal's Artisan Chocolates

Minimal, a specialty chocolate shop founded by βace Inc. in Shibuya, Tokyo, is celebrating the seventh anniversary of its Yoyogi Uehara location with an exciting month-long event starting July 1, 2026. This anniversary celebration features four unique initiatives designed to thank loyal customers and highlight their exquisite chocolate offerings.

Exclusive Anniversary Dish: 7-Flavor Chocolate Plate

The highlight of the anniversary is the Limited Edition 7-Flavor Chocolate Plate, allowing patrons to indulge in an array of seven luxurious chocolate cakes, offered in half-size portions for a delightful tasting experience. At the center of the plate lies Minimal’s signature chocolate, accompanied by various flavors, giving everyone the chance to explore the richness of cacao. Priced at 2,250 yen (including a drink), this plate will be available exclusively at the Yoyogi Uehara store from July 1 to July 31, 2026.

Reviving the Fresh Mint Chocolate-Mint Sweets

This year, for the first time, Minimal will reintroduce its beloved Chocolate-Mint Sweets made with fresh mint from the reputed Niikura Farm, known for its high-quality herbs. These treats, free from artificial coloring, deliver a pure mint flavor that adults can appreciate. Offered as a frozen dessert as well, the chocolate-mint ice cake promises to be a refreshing addition to summer treats. The price for the Raw Chocolate-Mint Gâteau is 3,990 yen, available from July 1 until stock lasts.

Assorted Gâteaux for Every Palate

As part of the anniversary, Minimal will launch the Chocolate Gâteau Assortment Set consisting of two varieties of sliced gâteau, perfect as gifts or for personal enjoyment. Combining a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture with a rich baked version, this box offers a convenient way to enjoy Minimal’s diverse flavors at home for 3,400 yen. This assortment will be available starting from July 1.

Special Evening Events: Yoruminimal

Adding to the festivities, Minimal is expanding its popular night event, Yoruminimal, which typically occurs twice a month, to four evenings in July. Customers can revel in a serene evening atmosphere while enjoying chocolate pairings with curated drinks. Unique themes will be presented each week, including special selections of Japanese sake.
