"Minimal," where chocolatiers, pâtissiers, and artisans who explore cacao and chocolate gather.

Minimal visits cacao-producing regions around the world and manufactures chocolate one piece at a time by hand from high-quality cacao beans. With a sincere commitment to the principle of "carefully and simply, maximizing the flavor of the best ingredients and bringing out their aroma to the fullest," our pâtissiers, chocolatiers, and artisans, who have honed their skills at Michelin-starred restaurants and top patisseries both domestically and internationally, work together to create Minimal's chocolates and sweets.

Regarding the ingredients, we conduct research and lectures on fermentation and drying processes in cacao-producing regions and develop flavors suitable for high quality and high prices together with cacao farmers. We aim for the sustainable economic independence of the cacao industry, which still bears the remnants of plantation systems, by providing technical support and fair, ethical trade. In 2019, we conducted a cacao survey in Nicaragua as part of a JICA ODA feasibility study project.

Through our "subtractive" philosophy that emphasizes maximizing ingredients and our unique manufacturing methods, we have received a cumulative total of 112 awards over 11 consecutive years at international competitions. We strive to deliver "memorable chocolates" that add color to your life with a free approach that is faithful to the basics while not being bound by tradition or methods, making you want to eat them again!
