Classic 65%, Minimal

The Classic 65% bar is produced by Minimal, a bean-to-bar maker based in Tokyo, Japan. Minimal focuses on highlighting the natural characteristics of cacao through a transparent and intentional manufacturing process.

This bar consists of only two ingredients, cacao beans and sugar. To ensure a specific texture and flavor delivery, the chocolate is refined using a 39μm method. This technical precision, paired with the selection of Ghanaian cacao, has earned the bar recognition at the International Chocolate Awards and the Academy of Chocolate.

Minimal operates as a bean-to-bar facility, managing the processing of the raw ingredients directly within their own production environment. The 50-gram bar serves as a primary example of their philosophy, which prioritizes the inherent profile of the beans over complex additive recipes.
