It’s no secret that Kit Kat bars are popular. After all, approximately 192 billion bars are sold every year in the United States alone, according to the Symphony IRI Group, and you can also buy them in more than 100 countries. But, did you know that there are over 300 different Kit Kat flavors, ranging from milk chocolate to rum raisin?
Kit Kats are insanely popular in Japan. In fact, there have been over 300 seasonal and limited edition flavors in Japan alone. As with other markets, some flavors are curated to specific regions of Japan and their specialties. For example, one flavor is meant to mimic a strong, spicy pepper called yahataya isogoro, from Shinshu where the pepper is grown. Others are less region-specific, and range from soy sauce and crème brulee to ginger ale and purple sweet potato. The below are just the beginning of the many flavors you can find around the world.
