Limited Edition Chocolate Bar Featuring Coffee Crumble and Coarse Chocolate Texture

Experience a Unique Chocolate Pairing with Minimal's Newest Creation

Get ready to indulge in the latest limited-edition chocolate bar from Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate, a brand rooted in Japan and renowned for its exquisite specialty chocolates. Launching on June 1, 2026, at select locations including the Tomigaya flagship store, Azabudai Hills store, and Sengawa store, and available online from June 2, 2026, this offering is titled SEASONAL Philippines 70% Coffee Crumble, which marries the rich textures of coffee and chocolate in one decadent treat.

A Rich Blend of Flavors

Minimal's SEASONAL Philippines 70% Coffee Crumble features 70% dark chocolate crafted from premium Philippine cacao aged for two years. The result? A luxuriously smooth texture, enriched by the aromatic notes reminiscent of roasted nuts. This chocolate not only delivers a sophisticated taste but also encapsulates the perfect pairing of chocolate and coffee, all in a single bite.

The two-year aging process enhances the cacao's flavors, offering a matured and harmonious blend that is distinctly different from typical chocolate bars. The cacao beans are roasted to a deep shade before being coarsely ground, ensuring that the powerful taste remains intact, creating an unexpected crunch that elevates the overall taste experience.

Crunchy Coffee Crumble

To further enhance the chocolate, Minimal incorporates a coffee crumble made from Roquemei Coffee's deep-roasted beans combined with almond flour. This adds a deliciously crispy texture and a toastiness that complements the chocolate perfectly. Additionally, cacao nibs sourced from the Philippines are sprinkled on top, providing a crunchy accent and intensifying the chocolate experience with their direct cacao flavor.

The result is a delightful layering of flavors and textures: the mellow nuttiness of the chocolate contrasts beautifully with the savory coffee crumble, leading to a satisfying array of tastes on the palate.
