Haven't been to Zürich but I can vouch for Lindt duty free being excellent. I can never walk past them without buying something and if you find one that does the hot chocolate... get one!

SEA has a Dilettante kiosk (although I like their hot chocolate and giant biscotti more than their confections), and a couple of the other shops (Fireworks, and Made in Washington) carry some of our other local favored brands like Fran's and Theo.

My clear favorite is the sakura matcha (cherry blossom green tea), but challengers are welcome. Besides wasabi, I haven't seen any other "crazy" flavors at NRT, unless you mean anything but the original is crazy.

White chocolate sandwiched in cats tongue biscuits

For me they just have the edge over the Yoku Moku chocolate biscuits. Just. Mmmmm... Yoku Moku...
Both are good, as well as hakuun no hotori.

GVA - one large shop land-side just before you got through departures and then 2 other specialist shops airside (one of which is Sprungli). There's also a further shop in the railway station below the airport and the regular duty-free stores air-side also have a selection of chocolate options.

Not chocolate though. A favourite of mine is kind of similar to hakuun no hotori (I think I'm confusing hakuun no hotori with aya shirabe 彩しらべ which I tried quite recently) but has a thin white chocolate coating. Probably hard to find at NRT or HND but easy enough to locate at Sendai Airport.

Indeed, but it really needed to be mentioned somewhere!

Thanks for the Sendai/Minamoto Kitchoan links. Shucks, the NY outlet of Kitchoan doesn't have ayashirabe...time to go back to Tokyo.

yuck.
If you're at SFO and leaving directly out of the US, you have access to Belgian Neuhaus in the Duty Free shop. Stopping at anywhere like PDX on the way out disqualifies one from making the purchase.
The next nearest regular appearance of Neuhaus in the Americas is either in Vancouver, and then Hawaii or Virginia. There's some question as to the availability of freshly flown-in chocolate at these locations.
I suppose that you can mail order too.
Galler and Corne become trickier to obtain.

Is it easy to find? I must try it. How about at MUC or TXL?

Yes. The green tea Kit Kats were tasty. I should have bought some. I'll be back soon enough.

More on BRU: if you want to buy just chocolate (tablets), there is a Delhaize supermarket on the arrivals level. They also have beer. Prices a little inflated compared to other supermarkets but still reasonable. Be aware: most foodstuffs (including chocolate and beer) will not be allowed in your carry-on, you will need to check it in.
