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!
