Flown in just for us, these tender, chocolate-covered, candied Japanese Iyokan batons are crafted by Dandelion Japan’s Confections team. To complement fragrant Iyokan with our chocolate, the team begins by gently oven-removing only the excess syrup from fresh, thick-cut, sugar-syrup-bathed slices of peel. They then enrobe each bright-orange baton in delicately fruity 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate, for an exquisitely juicy confection.

From Kuramae to San Francisco

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. He proposed taking our chocolate international by building a factory in Kuramae, old Tokyo — an area known for artisan workshops and a craft culture. Today, our Tokyo team continues to make bars, confections, and pastries, and we are fortunate to receive small batches that we may offer stateside.
