The new Kit Kat flavor draws inspiration from a specialty snack traditionally found at Japanese hot springs.

Natural berry flavours from the ruby cacao bean make for a hot chocolate like no other we’ve ever tasted.
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.
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.
With 18 hard-to-find Kit Kat items on the menu, this is an extremely rare opportunity you won’t want to miss!
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.
