Japan has become known overseas for their many delicious and eccentric Kit Kat flavours. Some are seasonal, and others are inspired by traditional and regional Japanese specialties.
Last week the result was announced for Kit Kat Japan’s worldwide vote to decide a brand new flavour. The poll was held in honour of 45 years of Kit Kat in Japan and half a million chocolate fans, from 81 countries, tried to vote into existence the Kit Kat of their dreams.
Strawberry Tiramisu is the flavour that emerged victorious, and now you can buy a special commemorative set of Kit Kats, including the winning flavour and many other of Kit Kat Japan’s greatest hits to celebrate 45 years of two-fingered fun.

The other flavours are split into sections. The first one is ‘Ninki no Teiban’, something like 'Fan Favourites' or 'The Classics'. This includes a simple, original chocolate Kit Kat, as well as the popular ‘Otona no Amasa’ series, which is marketed as a more mature chocolate snack for adults to enjoy. Also ‘Mainichi no Zeitaku’, meaning ‘Everyday Luxury’ is represented by a couple of bars.

There’s another section dedicated to regional specialties. Often these can only be bought in that particular area of Japan, so the chance to grab them all easily in one set is a rare one.
