He founded the brand in 2015 to deeply explore domestic and international chocolate culture and create a new wind for Bean to Bar. Impressed by the "philosophy of subtraction" that maximizes the individuality of cacao beans themselves, he traveled to production areas and producers around the world to learn about them.

The deliciousness of a new chocolate born from the "philosophy of subtraction".
 
Minimal was born in 2014 by artisans who are passionate about bringing out the natural diversity of cocoa's flavors.
 
Our goal was to express the aesthetics of "minimalism" with chocolate, which strips away the superfluous and leaves only the essence. With minimal ingredients of only cocoa beans and sugar, we began to take on the challenge of creating a surprisingly rich and diverse taste.
 
We carefully select unique cacao beans from all over the world and pursue a manufacturing method that maximizes the characteristics of each region and variety. Because of its simple ingredient composition, chocolate was born where you can feel the difference in the original complex flavor of cacao.
 
Since its founding, it has won numerous awards at international chocolate competitions, and its quality has been highly regarded worldwide, with its bar chocolate 'Arhuaco' winning the overall championship at the "International Chocolate Awards" Asia-Pacific competition in 2025.
In addition, he succeeded in cultivating domestic cacao at his own research farm in Okinawa, contributing to the development of bean to bar chocolate culture in Japan. Even now, on its 10th anniversary, we continue to pursue the potential of cacao.

What are we doing?

Minimal's chocolate making begins with the selection of cocoa beans.
 
We use carefully selected cocoa beans from all over the world to bring out the individuality of each region and variety, and carefully carry out all processes in-house, from roasting to shaping. In particular, during the roasting process, the temperature and time are determined according to the characteristics of each cocoa bean, and precise adjustments are made to bring out the optimal flavor.
 
The reason why we are particular about the simple ingredient composition is because we want people to genuinely taste the diverse flavors of cacao. We pursue chocolate that does not add extra ingredients and allows you to feel the difference in the natural flavor of cacao.
 
 
We are also actively working on sustainability and building direct relationships with cocoa producers to achieve fair trade and stable procurement of high-quality cocoa beans. It has also succeeded in growing domestic cacao in Okinawa, and by 2025, it will harvest twice as much cacao as the previous year, expanding the possibilities of cocoa cultivation in Japan.
 
In addition, in order to expand the possibilities of chocolate, we have also developed a variety of sweets that make use of chocolate, such as gateau chocolate and chocolate sandwich cookies. We adhere to the "philosophy of subtraction" for all our products and are particular about manufacturing methods that bring out the individuality of the ingredients to the fullest.
