Japan’s new pineapple flavored Kit Kat is only available in one place

A new flavor of Kit Kat is now available exclusively in just one region of Japan.

Nestlé Japan has released the new region exclusive “Kit Kat Pine Candy Flavor” which is will only be sold in the Kansai area of Japan.

This innovative confectionery is the result of a collaborative effort between Nestle Japan, the manufacturer of the widely popular “Kit Kat” chocolate snack, and Pine Co., an Osaka-based company renowned for its equally popular “Pine Candy”.

The “Kit Kat Pine Candy Flavor” is currently being offered for sale at various souvenir shops located throughout the Kansai region.

According to Nestle Japan, the “Kit Kat Pine Candy Flavor” is meticulously crafted to achieve a faithful reproduction of the distinctive taste of “Pine Candy” within the familiar format of a “Kit Kat” chocolate bar.

The production process involves sandwiching a creamy filling, which has been infused with pineapple juice powder, between the signature crispy wafers of the Kit Kat.

The entire bar is then enveloped in a pineapple-flavored chocolate, ensuring a consistent and authentic pineapple taste experience in every bite.

Nestle Japan anticipates a substantial surge in tourist numbers within the Kansai region, both from domestic and international travelers, in anticipation of and during the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo, a significant global event scheduled to be held in the Kansai area.

In response to this expected influx of visitors, the “Kit Kat Pine Candy Flavor” has been strategically launched as a “new Osaka souvenir”.

This product aims to provide tourists with a unique opportunity to experience and appreciate the distinctive “Osaka’s candy culture” and to conveniently take a piece of this local flavor home with them as a memorable memento of their visit.

The “Kit Kat Pine Candy Flavor” is now on sale and is available in a convenient pack containing 10 individual Kit Kat bars, with a suggested retail price of 1,166 yen, though prices may vary between sales locations.
