Minimal Tomigaya — Restaurant in Tokyo

Being passionate about dark chocolate, I spotted this shop on the review made by the website damecacao on Tokyo chocolate makers. I bought 3 chocolate tablets and drank one hot chocolate drink. There are a lot of positives in my review. First, I was super happy to find in Tokyo very dark chocolate tablets, meaning 90% cocoa. In Japan, it is often hard to find dark chocolate above 70%. They have two types of 90% cocoa bars, one being a kind of Ciiccolate di Modica although much more refined. Second, the packaging is really nicely done with a lot of information. lt reminds me of the Geneva based Orfeve tablet bars (see a previous review). Unfortunately, the info in Japan is different from what you can find in Europe, and it makes it hard to compare European and Japanese chocolate bars. Third, their matcha chocolate tables is exceptional... possibly the best in the world high flavour that remains for quite a long time on your palate. Not too high in sugar killing matcha taste, unlike many other matcha chocolate bars (and yes I do not like sugar) especially in Europe. The quality of macha is also definitely higher. Fourth, the tablet has been very well designed with smaller and bigger bits and also exhibits different surfaces (flat or striped). It reminds me of the Zurich based Garçoa tablet design. What could be improved? The hot chocolate drink was very intense in taste. Unfortunately, they have only one choice, which is...

Sweet Heaven number 5: Minimal: A chocolate shop which focuses on the purity of chocolate. The flavours of their chocolate bars vary based on the countries where the cacao beans come from without any other ingredients which is amazing! We were lost on how we should start sampling and enjoying the coffee, but the warm and friendly staff stepped right in and guided us through their whole process and the ingredients used, helping us better understand their unique selling point and their awesome product. The ones we tried had a nutty taste, fruity taste and even herbal taste. Following that we tried the cacao fruit pulp drink which was made from the flesh of the cocoa fruit which is amazing. Light and refreshing with citrus and light dark chocolate notes. Last but not least, the crepe. It was made up of a rolled up crepe filled with a pastry cream of sorts, chocolate bits made from cacao beans from Bolivia which have it a citrusy flavour. Topped with a caramel ice cream, Apple cider jelly and toasted nuts for garnish. It went so well together, tasting nice and light when eaten with the cider jelly and the caramel ice cream was not too sweet giving it a nice balance. Artisanal chocolate in an awesome shop, what’s not to like? 8/10 for brilliant execution and uniqueness but not full marks because it’s an acquired flavour that only chocolate lovers...

I visited a friend and saw this shop and bought some souvenirs for my daughters, friends and for me and my husband and for myself to eat in the train. I bought the chocolate sandwich cookies but when i tried to eat it in the train cant hardly bite the chocolate its very hard i almost broke my teeth. The cookies scattered all over my clothes , my question is for the one who made this sandwich cookies,"have you tried eating it before selling it"it was good but bad combinations. The cookies cracked and bits scattered all over , chocolate is too hard to bite. Im very disappointed with the hardness of the chocolate and the mess that cookie gives to my clothes. I dont recommend this sandwich cookies for gifts.

I didnt try anything inside the shop but if i have a chance i would like to try some of their...
