Minimal Tomigaya

The dark, industrial-looking storefront with a glass facade housing a single long counter is Minimal Tomigaya. This is a bean-to-bar chocolate factory where the entire production process happens behind the glass. The founders began by traveling to cocoa farms in places like Vietnam and Colombia to source beans directly, bringing them back to this small shop to roast and grind them in micro-batches. They focus on the individual characteristics of specific harvests, resulting in chocolate bars that taste like the distinct soil and climate.
