Nestle Japan has announced that they will renew the texture of “KitKat” chocolate bars starting on August 20th.  They have improved the wafers and says it they are now more aromatic and crispier.

The debut of KitKat in Japan was in 1973 and since then, they have made many KitKat  flavors in Japan – such as green tea, strawberry, banana, ginger ale, yogurt, red pepper and many many more.  Also, a few other weird flavors are available in limited areas.  For example, cherry flavor (Touhoku area), miso flavor (Toukai, Hokuriku area), soy sauce flavor (Tokyo) and Kobe pudding flavor (Kobe).

Adding to that, they will also release an “adult version” of KitKat, which is made with a bitter biscuit, starting September 20th.

    I love how Japan always takes something foreign, and expands it, adding their own ideas to it. It becomes something unique to the country. They have like, a million flavours for everything xD Green tea kit-kat is the shit :D Well, honestly anything green tea flavoured is heaven to me xD
