It’s not every day that we receive a batch of goods from Dandelion Japan, and this is one of our favorites. Kinu means “silk” in Japanese — a fitting name for these handmade, supremely silky pavé truffles. Our Tokyo team blends single-origin chocolate with fresh cream from the northern island of Hokkaido (also home to the butter in our Tokyo Gâteau) to form a rich, velvety ganache, which they hand-cut into cubes and dust with fine, unroasted cocoa powder. Their craftsmanship is both palpable and enchanting, as each bite melts slowly on the tongue.

The Kinu Chocolate Trio contains three 16-piece boxes, each featuring a single flavor: Classic Chocolate, Hojicha, and Japanese Citrus. All three varieties (also available individually) showcase the subtle flavor nuances of Dandelion Japan’s 70% Zorzal chocolate.

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. Seiji has an eye for detail and boundless energy; 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, Dandelion Japan’s Pastry and Confections teams create elegantly flavorful chocolates and desserts.

ABOUT ZORZAL COMUNITARIO

Near the Dominican Republic’s northern coast, Zorzal Cacao collects freshly harvested, unfermented cacao beans from independent smallholder farms surrounding the private bird sanctuary Reserva Zorzal (which protects the endangered Bicknell’s thrush). Beans are then fermented together, yielding a range of intriguing flavors. Sold under the name Zorzal Comunitario, the farming community’s beans help fund the Reserva’s conservation efforts. In 2023, Zorzal Cacao earned Smithsonian Bird Friendly® certification for deforestation-free, biodiversity-friendly chocolate — the first cacao farm to receive this recognition.
