Flown in just for us, these tender, chocolate-covered candied Japanese Iyokan batons are crafted by Dandelion Japan's Chef Shota Suzuki and his Tokyo Confections team. To complement fragrant Iyokan with our chocolate, Chef Shota and team begin 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 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 Shota Suzuki helms Dandelion Japan’s Pastry and Confections teams, who create elegantly flavorful chocolates and desserts.
