Celebrate the Holidays with a Unique Chocolate Experience at Minimal
As the festive season approaches, Minimal, a specialty chocolate brand based in Japan, introduces a limited-time holiday chocolate course called
"Minimal Cacao Chocolate Course - Sense of Wonder - Holiday Edition". This exquisite offering is available from
December 1 to December 31, 2025, exclusively at Minimal The Specialty located in Azabudai Hills, Tokyo.
A Delightful Holiday Chocolate Journey
The course is designed to enhance the joy of the holiday season with a beautifully curated menu featuring a variety of chocolate delicacies paired with refreshing drinks. The experience begins with a sparkling drink, setting the stage for a feast that showcases the many dimensions of cacao.
Among the highlights is the
Chocolate Stollen Parfait, a whimsical twist on the traditional German stollen. This delectable parfait features rich bitter chocolate ice cream combined with luxurious maple ice cream and a medley of fresh berries, all beautifully layered. The chocolate incorporates fruity and aromatic notes derived from three types of high-quality chocolate, creating a multi-dimensional flavor profile that captivates the palate.
In addition to the parfait, guests will enjoy a
Chicken with Mole, a festive dish inspired by a classic Mexican sauce known for its rich, chocolatey depth. The dish features chicken drizzled with a mole sauce made using the
NUTTY chocolate, which imparts a distinct nutty flavor, making it a perfect holiday dish that won’t soon be forgotten.
Exciting Drink Pairings
To complement the culinary delights, the course includes a selection of drinks:
- - Non-Alcoholic: Earl Grey tea from Uf-fu
- - Alcoholic: Bucci 2023 red wine from Fattoria AL FIORE
For dessert, savor the
Chocolate Opera Plate. This nine-layered masterpiece replaces the traditional coffee flavor with the rich bitterness of Minimal’s high-cacao chocolate. Each layer is carefully crafted, balancing aroma and taste, ensuring each bite offers a rich, complex experience, supported by sour-sweet griottes and berries that provide a nod to the classic Black Forest cherry cake.
