With queues out the door for the new limited-edition Tokyo Banana Kit Kat, we grab a pack to see if it’s really worth all the hype.
Japanese Kit Kats (Page 3)
Containing real throat lozenge powder, this new release is one of the most unusual Kit Kats seen in Japan to date.
The unusual sweet is one of several new treats only available at a special Kit Kat Chocolatory store in Tokyo.
The new release is a great example of how big companies can support local businesses in the wake of a disaster.
With three cute box designs and adorable individual wrappers, this is the best way to send wishes for a lucky New Year.
According to Nestlé Japan, this is the first new nationwide Kit Kat series they’ve released in six years.
The Kit Kats here are served with a theatrical display of dry ice and biscuit pieces that allow you to blow “smoke” out your nose.
Customers will be able to create their own supercooled Kit Kats using ingredients like marshmallows and pretzels at the new “Below Freezing Chocolatory” pop-up store in Tokyo.
Love Kit Kats? Wish you could get your hands on the amazing varieties available only in Japan? How about a whole box of them?
