Review: We Ranked 18 Exclusive Japanese Kit Kat Flavours Including Pistachio, White Chocolate Sea Salt & More!

Think you have tried all the flavours of Kit Kat? Well, think again! Did you know that Japanese Kit Kats by Nestlé have released over 300 different flavours? Yes, a whopping 300! Most of these flavours are exclusive to some cities or seasons.

In this article, I will be reviewing 18 different types of rare and unique flavours of Kit Kats that are only available in Japan, sent by Sugoi Mart by Japan Crate. They are a one-stop shop for all things Japan. They sell items exclusively available only in Japan like snacks, candies, Japanese toys and games, plushies, collectibles, and more.

Kit Kat, also pronounced as Kitto Katto in Japanese, is known as a symbol of a lucky charm. It sounds similar to

a Japanese phrase, kitto katsu, which means “you will surely win”. Hence, it is a popular gift in Japan.

Read on to find out what are some of the exclusive flavours of kit kat I have received and what I think of them!

1. Kit Kat (Banana Caramel Flavoured)

The taste of the banana is overpowering and there is a nutty note of caramel. But, the caramel taste was a little hard for me to notice.

Rating: 5.5/10

2. Kit Kat (Pistachio Flavoured)

The taste of the pistachio is very mild so it was kind of disappointing.

Rating: 6/10

3. Kit Kat (Milk Tea Flavoured)

The flavor of the milk tea is so robust! It tasted exactly like the bottled Pokka Premium Milk Tea with a fragrant tea leaf taste. However, it was too sweet for my liking. But if you are a fan of sweet milk tea, you should give this a try!

Rating: 6/10

4. Kit Kat (Apple Cinnamon Flavoured)

This smells almost as good as perfume! But the cinnamon flavour is too strong and it stays in my mouth after eating them. I have not tried any apple cinnamon flavoured chocolate, so this really leaves an impression on me.

Rating: 6.5/10

5. Kit Kat (White Chocolate with Sea Salt Flavoured)

It is a little too salty for me but overall, the taste reminded me of my favourite childhood drink, Horlick.

Rating: 6.5/10

6. Kit Kat x Nescafe- For Coffee Break (Milk Chocolate Flavoured)

Pair this Kat Kat with a cup of coffee to satisfy your sweet craving! It has a milder taste compared to the original Kit Kat I’ve had and is on the bitter side.

Rating: 7/10

7. Kit Kat (Mont Blanc Flavoured)

This tasted like a fresh pastry! It is so sweet, creamy, and nutty.

Rating: 7/10

8. Kit Kat (Cheesecake Flavoured)

The flavour of the cheesecake is rich and slightly salty. If you are a cheesecake lover, you would love this! Did you know that you can bake this Kit Kat for ultimate enjoyment.

Rating: 7.5/10

9. Kit Kat (Summer Mango Flavoured)

It tasted as sweet as mango and so refreshing. This is truly scrumptious!

Rating: 8/10

10. Kit Kat- Sweetness For Adults Series (Rich Matcha Flavoured)

This doesn't taste as sweet as compared to other flavours but the matcha flavour is so strong! It also leaves a powdery feeling on my tongue after eating. 

Rating: 8.5/10

11. Kit Kat (Peach Flavoured)

This delicious sweet-looking Kit Kat smells so good! The flavouring of the peach is so strong and sweet but it tasted sour towards the end.

Rating: 9/10

12. Kit Kat (Chocolate Orange Flavoured)

This is so flavourful and good! There is a perfect balance of chocolate and orange, not overly citrusy.

Rating: 9/10

13. Kit Kat (Sea Salt Flavoured)

There is a perfect balance of sweetness and saltiness for this one! Couldn't get enough of it.

Rating: 9/10

14. Kit Kat (Matcha Latte Flavoured)

This is so sweet and creamy! Plus, the matcha is so fragrant!

Rating: 9/10

15. Kit Kat (Whole Grain Biscuit Flavoured)

This has a nutty flavor and it is very light. The combination of the whole grain biscuit and the less sweet chocolate goes well together.

Rating: 9/10

16. Kit Kat (Strawberry Milk Flavoured)

If you love drinking strawberry milk, you would definitely like this! It tasted sweet and milky. Overall, the strawberry and white chocolate are well-balanced.

Rating: 9.5/10

17. Kit Kat- Sweetness For Adults Series (White Chocolate Flavoured)

The taste is not as intense and sweet as other Kit Kat flavours. The finely crushed dark chocolate cookies in between the wafers help to bring out the flavour of the white chocolate. It is so good and irresistible!

Rating: 10/10

18. Kit Kat- Sweet For Adults Series (Dark Chocolate Flavoured)

I could really snack on this all day! The dark chocolate is not too bitter and there is a perfect balance of sweetness.

Rating: 10/10

Final Thoughts

All the flavours of Kit Kats that I have tried did not fail to surprise me! I seriously could not pick out one favourite among all. But, I would recommend you to try all of the flavours.
