Seasonal 59%, Minimal

Minimal is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Tokyo, Japan. The maker focuses on highlighting the intrinsic characteristics of cacao through small-batch production.

The Seasonal bar features 59% cacao sourced from Piura, Peru. These beans undergo a 6-day fermentation process in wooden boxes before being sun-dried. The production process involves a light roast and refinement in a melanger to preserve the natural character of the beans. This results in a milk chocolate profile defined by a distinct bouquet of flowers, crafted from only cacao beans, sugar, whole milk powder, and cocoa butter.

The craftsmanship behind this bar has earned consistent industry recognition, with accolades from the Academy of Chocolate in 2021, 2022, and 2023.
