Kinu Chocolate: Japanese Citrus

Kinu Chocolate: Japanese Citrus - Main image
$34.8 $58 In stock

In Japanese, nama means “raw” or “fresh” — conveying the delicacy and purity that defines a style of confection popular in Japan. This is the Dandelion take on these incredibly silky pavé truffles made of 70% chocolate melted into a high ratio of sweet, fresh cream, sourced from Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido. Nama’s extra-high cream content creates a light, decadent ganache that melts into smooth luxury on the tongue. Once firm, the fresh ganache is pressed tightly and cut into cubes, then dusted with fine, unroasted natural cocoa powder, also sourced from Zorzal Comunitario. 

Developed in Tokyo, all three varieties showcase the subtle flavor nuances of Dandelion Japan’s 70% Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate. Japanese Citrus: Ikoyan features velvety Zorzal Comunitario, Dominican Republic chocolate ganache, melded with tangy-sweet Miyauchi iyokan; the citrus’ juicy, mandarin-like sweetness complements the cocoa’s natural brightness.

You may also select the trio, which contains one box each of each variety: Classic Chocolate, Hojicha, and Japanese Citrus: Iyokan.

This product is best savored immediately — indulgence in its purest form.

Miles ★★★★★

The silky texture melts almost instantly on the tongue, and the citrus comes through as a bright, clean finish rather than overpowering. I've had plenty of nama-style truffles, but these are noticeably more delicate and refined.

Emma Q. ★★★★★

I expected the citrus to be subtle but it actually hits first, bright and a little tart, before the chocolate mellows it out. The silky pavé texture really does melt the second you bite in, nothing waxy or grainy about it. Ate three in one sitting, no regrets.

Emma K. ★★★★★

The texture of these pavé truffles is unreal — they basically dissolve the second they hit your tongue. The yuzu note cuts through the richness just enough so you can eat two without feeling weighed down.
