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.
