Cheesecake-Inspired Wafer Chocolates

Kit Kat Japan's Rich Cheesecake Taste is a Winter-Only Treat

There's a limited number of Kit Kat Chocolatory boutiques in Japan and they are the only places where some of the most luxurious, limited-edition wafer chocolate bars can be found, including the brand-new Rich Cheesecake Taste. This new Kit Kat flavor is an exclusive winter treat that's touted as "a new way of enjoying cake."

The Rich Cheesecake Taste bar is made by combining cream cheese powder and a special cheesecake flavor with couverture white chocolate that's said to have a milky, slightly tart taste and a smooth texture that melts on the tongue.

Unlike some unique Kit Kat flavors that can be found at conventince stores, airports or certain regions, this one is limited to select boutiques in Japan.
