Did you know that people’s palates differ by region and culture? Our Tokyo Chocolate Makers’ bars can offer strikingly different flavors than our S.F.-made chocolate, even though we all work with the same beans. We’ve found that our Japanese team tends to enjoy highlighting light-roasted, fermented, slightly bitter, and delicately herbaceous notes — whereas in California, we often lean toward fruity, creamy, and caramel aromas. This curated three-bar set offers a unique taste of our Japan team’s nuanced flavor-development approach.

ABOUT DANDELION CHOCOLATE JAPAN

We launched Dandelion Chocolate Japan in collaboration with Seiji Horibuchi in 2016. Seiji frequented our Valencia Street café and we developed an immediate rapport based on our shared love of chocolate. Seiji has an eye for detail and boundless energy, and we loved our conversations together. He proposed taking our chocolate international by building a new factory in Kuramae, old Tokyo — an area known for artisan workshops and a craft culture.

THE Three ORIGINS

KOKOA KAMILI, TANZANIA

Brian LoBue’s and Simran Bindra’s social enterprise, Kokoa Kamili, buys freshly harvested, unfermented cocoa beans from local smallholder farms and ferments them in a centralized facility. The resulting flavorful cocoa fetches a premium price that makes its way back to cacao growers.

MAYA MOUNTAIN, BELIZE

Located in Toledo, near the eastern coast, Maya Mountain Cacao (MMC) is the first company in Belize to buy wet beans from farmers, and to emphasize the importance of bean quality. MMC currently buys from 450 farmers who are registered and certified organic — the majority of whom identify as indigenous Q’eqchi’ and Mopan Maya.

ZORZAL COMUNITARIO, D.R.

These cocoa beans come from a collection of farms surrounding Reserva Zorzal, a bird sanctuary in the Dominican Republic. The sale of cocoa produced on the Reserve helps fund habitat preservation for the endangered Bicknell’s thrush.
