If you love the Japanese raindrop water cake that’s been taking the world by storm, you’ll love this new Kit Kat variety.
Kit Kats (Page 2)
The latest collaboration between the chocolate snacks and the Japanese spirit is almost four centuries in the making and uses one of the highest classes of sake.
First-ever KitKat-cocktail pairings are part of a range of special offerings to celebrate the new alcoholic chocolates ahead of their nationwide release.
This one of the best-tasting Kit Kat flavors out of Japan’s many exclusives, and it’s aiding the recovery of disaster-stricken Osaka and West Japan.
Customers can enjoy tuna, sea urchin, and egg creations at Japan’s newest Kit Kat Chocolatory.
Nestlé Japan is calling on Kit Kat fans around the world to nominate and vote for their next flavour on a special English-language website.
The new Kit Kat flavor draws inspiration from a specialty snack traditionally found at Japanese hot springs.
There’s even a sakura charm made from cherry blossom wood included in this year’s release.
Made from ruby cocoa beans, this new “fourth type of chocolate” promises a whole new Kit Kat flavour experience.
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.
