The unique KitKat style in Japan

With its irresistibly delicious chocolate flavor, Kit Kat is a favorite snack for consumers worldwide. In Japan, in particular, manufacturers constantly introduce new and creative flavors to satisfy the cravings of Kit Kat enthusiasts.

Just when people thought KitKat couldn't go any further, Nestlé opened a bespoke chocolate shop last October at Namba Station in Osaka's Chuo Ward.

Here, you can witness the explosion of liquid nitrogen and see your own KitKat dream come true.

Customers will use a touchscreen to select the ingredients for their "sweet candy dream." Choices for the chocolate base include basic flavors such as milk chocolate with matcha or white chocolate with strawberry flavor.

There are nine toppings to choose from, including marshmallows, pineapple, cranberries, mango, raisins, almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, and shredded coconut. Each bar costs between $6 and $9.

If you can't choose a flavor, the shop's chef will help you select toppings that complement your chocolate base! For example, if you like green tea chocolate, the chef might suggest marshmallows, cranberries, and coconut.

You can even create an "all topping" version by using all nine toppings. The KitKat bar will then cost 2,050 yen (US$18).

Afterward, KitKat will invite you to enjoy the fruits of your labor right at the store, or you can choose to wrap it up and keep it as a souvenir from Japan.
