Last month Kit Kat Japan released the first ever ‘ruby’ chocolate bar, a naturally pink creation made from ruby cacao beans. For now, Nestle own exclusive rights to the new chocolate and Japan’s Kit Kat Chocolatory is the only outlet where you can get your hands on it.

The hot chocolate was available from the Kit Kat Chocolatory's cafe located on the second floor of the Ginza main store.

The hot chocolate came with a stick of the coveted Ruby Kit Kat itself resting on the saucer. The cocoa is surprisingly viscous and has a sweet and fruity flavour. At 1000 yen not including tax, it was a pretty pricey beverage, but I guess that's the price you pay for world firsts.

The chocolatory shop on the way out of the cafe is still in full ruby mode celebrating the new release.

Nestle only have exclusive rights to the chocolate for six months, after that other companies will also be able to unleash their naturally pink chocolate creations on the world. Until then, chocoholics keep an eye out, Kit Kat Japan may have more surprise ruby chocolate products to be unveiled!
