Candied Japanese Lemon

lemon-peel batons

add gift note at checkout

These tender, juicy, chocolate-covered Japanese lemon batons are flown exclusively to us from Dandelion Japan’s Confections team. They begin with fresh, extra-thick-cut, sugar-syrup-bathed slices of peel — from which they gently oven-remove only the excess syrup; then they enrobe each bright baton in Dandelion Japan’s subtly fruity 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate, for a soft, toothsome citrus treat.

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.
