Like a Bouquet of Flowers, This One Piece. From Minimal, a Luxurious Floral Dark Milk Chocolate Perfect for Gifts like Welcome Parties, Arrives for a Limited Time This Spring.

βace Co., Ltd. (Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takashi Yamashita), which operates the Japanese specialty chocolate store "Minimal - Bean to Bar Chocolate - " (https://mini-mal.tokyo/), will release the spring-limited "SEASONAL Dark Milk Peru 59%" on April 1, 2026, at its Tomigaya Main Store, Azabudai Hills Store, Sengawa Store, and online store.

A Luxurious Special Piece with a Floral Aroma and Fruity Taste That Spreads Through Your Mouth, Like Receiving a Bouquet of Flowers

A gorgeous and light new chocolate has been born, allowing you to feel the arrival of spring with every bite.

Enjoy the floral and mellow flavor, reminiscent of a bouquet, which makes the most of the characteristics of Peruvian cacao, making it perfect as a spring gift. While milk is blended, it is crafted as a "dark milk" with a high cacao content of 59%.

Please enjoy it as a spring gift for your loved ones or as a treat for yourself.

A Gorgeous Taste That Smells Like Flowers and Spreads Like Fruit, Perfect for Gifts

The first bite is met with a gorgeous aroma reminiscent of a bouquet of flowers. This is followed by a rich fruitiness like fruit jam, and a gentle sweetness like caramel lingers pleasantly in the aftertaste.

Special Manufacturing Method Using Lemongrass

Lemongrass-infused cacao butter, scented at low temperatures, is added to Peruvian cacao with its floral characteristics, layering the aromas while suppressing bitterness.

A Rare Dark Milk Chocolate with a Special Feel

With a cacao content of 59%, the blend delicately retains the characteristics of dark chocolate cacao beans. By blending a small amount of blond chocolate with dark chocolate, we achieve deep richness and milky sweetness, along with a sense of satisfaction, while maximizing the delicate aroma of the cacao.

Recommended Pairing: Darjeeling Tea

The clean aftertaste of this chocolate pairs exceptionally well with warm beverages. We especially recommend pairing it with a gently astringent Darjeeling tea, such as a first flush (spring harvest). The floral notes of each will complement each other, allowing you to enjoy a richer flavor.

Minimal: A Team of Artisans Specializing in Cacao and Chocolate, Including Chocolatiers and Patissiers

Minimal visits cacao-producing regions around the world and crafts chocolate by hand, one bean at a time, from high-quality cacao beans. True to the principle of "carefully and simply, maximizing the flavor of the best ingredients," our patissiers, chocolatiers, and artisans, who have honed their skills at Michelin-starred restaurants and top patisseries both domestically and internationally, work together as a team to create Minimal's chocolates and sweets.

We conduct research and provide lectures on fermentation and drying processes at the source of our cacao, and develop flavors suitable for high quality and high prices in collaboration with cacao farmers. We aim for the sustainable economic independence of the cacao industry, which still bears the remnants of plantations, through technical support and fair, ethical trade. In 2019, we conducted a cacao survey in Nicaragua as part of a JICA ODA project feasibility study.

With our philosophy of "subtraction" that emphasizes the ingredients and our unique manufacturing methods, we have received a cumulative total of 103 awards at international competitions for 10 consecutive years. We strive to deliver "chocolate that lingers in the heart," which adds color to your life with faithful adherence to basics, yet with free ideas unbound by tradition or methods, making you want to eat it again!
