* ・Autumn gateau chocolat where you can enjoy the whole roasted sweet potato made from sweet potato*
This gateau chocolate is made with plenty of roasted sweet potatoes from Ishida Farm in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, which is famous for producing sweet potatoes.
On the top, we mixed the sweet potato with its skin into the dough made using a hybrid of the medium dough method and sugar batter method, which mixes fermented dough, and topped it with thickly cut roasted sweet potatoes.
You can directly enjoy the rich sweetness of “Kinmitsuimo” roasted sweet potatoes, which are carefully baked one by one with far infrared rays, turning each side over.
By mixing cream cheese into the sweet potato dough as a hidden ingredient, we add a subtle sourness and add depth to the flavor.
* ・”CLASSIC” chocolate that complements the sweetness of potatoes, and bitter chocolate that tightens the overall taste *
The gateau chocolate fabric at the bottom uses chocolate with a flavor called “CLASSIC,” which has a gentle sweetness and a familiar taste. By mixing cacao powder into it, we added a bitter element, harmonizing with the sweetness of the sweet potato, and enhancing the intensity of the chocolate flavor.
Furthermore, the sides are coated with 80% cacao chocolate from Ghana mixed with a small amount of black tea, which adds a pleasant bitterness to the overall sweetness and tightens the flavor.
* ・“Ishida Farm”, a sweet potato specialty farm that is particular about soil preparation and ripening *
Ishida Farm is located in Katori City, Chiba Prefecture, which is famous for producing sweet potatoes, and is committed to producing sweet potatoes with the aim of “continuing to be a presence that can deliver excitement among a wide variety of sweet potatoes.”
Furthermore, in Sawara, which is said to be Chiba’s Little Edo, there is a coffee shop called “Kinmitsudo” that serves parfait and sweet potato.

“Minimal” is a cacao and chocolate artisan team including a
chocolatier and pastry chef.
Minimal
Our artisans travel to cacao production areas around the world and handcraft each piece of chocolate from high-quality cacao beans. A team of pastry chefs, chocolatiers, and craftsmen who have honed their skills at star-rated restaurants and top patisseries in Japan and abroad work together as a team, faithfully adhering to the idea of “carefully and simply, using the best ingredients to bring out the best aromas.” Make Minimal chocolates and sweets with your work. We conduct research and lectures on the fermentation and drying process for cacao, the raw material, and work with cacao farmers to develop flavors that are high in quality and at a high unit price. Aiming for the sustainable economic independence of the cacao industry, which has remnants of plantations, we provide technical support and fair and ethical transactions. In 2019
We conducted a cacao survey in Nicaragua as part of JICA’s ODA feasibility study project.
Thanks to our unique manufacturing method and the concept of “subtraction” that makes the best use of materials, we have won 89 awards at international competitions for eight consecutive years. Award-winning. We would like to deliver “chocolate that will leave a lasting impression on your heart” that will add color to your life and make you want to eat it again, while staying true to the basics and using free ideas that are not bound by tradition or methods.
