Kit Kat Message

Though it isn’t really a Japanese product, Kit Kat struck gold in Japan when it arrived in 1973 because of its lucky-sounding name. You see, in Japanese, Kit Kat or Kitto Katto sounds a lot like Kitto Katsu, the Japanese phrase for “you’ll certainly win.” Ever since then, these chocolate-coated wafers have become a huge hit in Japan. (If you’d like to learn everything about these delightful treats, then check out our article, Japanese Kit Kats: the Ultimate Guide.) 

 

Kit Kats have become so popular in Japan that there are more than 300 different flavors or iterations of these chocolatey goodies. It’s a smorgasbord of chocolate madness! To help you explore the wild, wild world of Japanese Kit Kats, we’ve decided to compile all the different flavors and variations in this comprehensive list! Let’s get started, shall we?
