Crafted in collaboration with Dandelion Chocolate Japan's Chef Shota Suzuki and his Confections team in Tokyo — and flown in just for us — our limited-edition Japanese Citrus Collection introduces three distinctive Japanese citrus varieties: Lemon, Iyokan, and Hyuganatsu. Each chocolate-covered baton and wedge is first hand-candied in sweet syrup to enhance its delicious, soft and juicy texture — then enrobed in Dandelion Chocolate Japan’s 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate. 

Our Citrus Collection features three tangy-sweet Japanese fruits: Candied Japanese Lemon, Candied Japanese Iyokan, and Candied Japanese Hyuganatsu.

Unlike any chocolate-covered citrus we've tried, these thickly cut, candied citruses are tender, juicy, and toothsome.

From San Francisco to Kuramae, 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. Here, Chef Maki Takahashi helms Dandelion Japan’s Pastry and Confections teams, who create elegantly flavorful chocolates and desserts.
