Dandelion Chocolate's 2026 Valentine's Collection
Dandelion Chocolate Japan, based in Taito, Tokyo and led by CEO Kiyoharu Horibuchi, has announced the launch of its 2026 Valentine's Collection set to begin on January 17th. This year's collection is themed "Resonating Adult Luxury," aiming to highlight the profound individuality of cacao combined with carefully selected ingredients to create deep flavors and special moments.
Among the unique offerings is the 'Macadamia Nut Chocolate VD Edition,' featuring heart-shaped Gianduja chocolate hidden inside a special box. This Gianduja chocolate uses hazelnut paste and cacao sourced from Togo, delivering a robust aroma as it melts in your mouth, melding with a gentle sweetness and mild acidity. The chocolate is layered with macadamia nuts from Rwanda, coated in rich 70% cacao from Honduras, presenting a delightful crunch and sweetness.
The collection also introduces the 'Crumble Chocolate Toffee,' initially popular during the holiday season, now repackaged in an easy-to-eat stick form fit for various occasions. This tasty treat combines crushed buttery caramel with chocolate, offering a satisfying crunch paired with the caramel's sweetness and rich chocolate flavor.
Dandelion Chocolate is excited to present yet another collaboration with Dewazakura Sake Brewery, featuring the special limited edition 'Single Origin Raw Chocolate Honjozo Sake.' Using some sake in the fermentation process, this chocolate embodies a harmonious blend of sweetness from the Honjozo Sake and the citrusy acidity from Indian cacao.
For those seeking a rewarding treat, the '5grams' chocolate sticks—a previously sold-out item—return to the collection. Created using just five types of cacao beans and organic cane sugar, these bite-sized chocolates provide an accessible yet luxurious chocolate experience, perfect for pairing with coffee, wine, or enjoying during a quiet moment at your desk.
As the Valentine's season approaches, Dandelion Chocolate adds a personal touch with special Valentine tags, featuring a handwritten-style message, making your chocolate gifts even more memorable.
