Now you can enjoy 35 different Japan-exclusive Kit Kats without having to run around town trying to find them all.
Back in 1973, Nestlé’s Kit Kat made its debut in Japan, and in the 45 years since, more than 350 different varieties have been produced here, giving Japanese Kit Kats a reputation unsurpassed by anywhere else in the world.
The regional-exclusive flavours, spread out across Japan, have made them a favourite souvenir for local and international travellers, but for fans of the brand it can often be difficult to track down a lot of the different flavours in one spot.
That’s where Nestlé’s new Kit Kat Japan Sales 45th Anniversary Assortment box comes in. Filled with 35 different varieties of Kit Kat, this is the best way to get a taste of some of the brand’s most sought-after flavours.
The star of the 45th Anniversary Assortment is their latest flavour sensation, Strawberry Tiramisu, which went on sale in Japan on 19 November. The Strawberry Tiramisu was created after half a million people from 81 regions voted for it to be made in a worldwide poll to help celebrate Kit Kat’s 45th year in the Japanese market.
Joining the winning Kit Kat flavour in the new commemorative box is 34 other delicious varieties, taken from three different Kit Kat ranges.
