These adorable sweets have been meticulously handcrafted by a centuries-old confectionery retailer in Kyoto.
The all-new Japanese-exclusive packages include limited-edition coloured chocolates that capture the spirit of Japan.
Only available in certain countries for a limited time, these regional cakes come with a number of gorgeous details.
Japan’s favourite cat is bringing cute back to melons this year — but how much will they cost?
If you’re coming to Japan and buying Kit Kats is on your list of things to do, you’ll want to check this store out!
You can take a doll out of the store, but the staff will have to cut off one of its fingers first…
