Kinu means “silky” in Japanese — a fitting name for these pavé truffles. A high ratio of sweet, fresh cream from Hokkaido (Japan’s northernmost island) is blended with 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate, creating a light, decadent ganache that melts into silky luxury on the tongue. Once firm, the cooled ganache is pressed tightly, hand-cut into cubes, and dusted with fine, natural (non-alkalized) cocoa powder, also crafted from Zorzal Comunitario beans.

Developed in our Tokyo kitchen, all three Single-Origin Kinu Chocolate varieties showcase the subtle flavor nuances of Dandelion Japan’s 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate. The Kinu Chocolate Trio contains three 16-piece boxes, each containing a single pavé flavor. (All three varieties are also available separately.)

Trio includes:

Classic Chocolate celebrates velvety Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate ganache, featuring notes of rich brownie and milk chocolate pudding, balancing warmth with a hint of tartness.

Hojicha melds Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate ganache with hojicha tea — a nutty, lightly roasted Japanese green tea which enhances the cocoa’s subtle herbal aromas.

Japanese Citrus: Ikoyan features Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate ganache enhanced with tangy-sweet Miyauchi iyokan syrup; the citrus’ juicy, mandarin-like sweetness complements the cocoa’s natural brightness.

These truffles are best kept chilled until ready to enjoy. Savor immediately — indulgence in its purest form.

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.
