Japan’s Kit Kat bars come in a zillion flavors

Did you know that Kit Kats – yes, those breakable chocolate bars – are big in Japan?

The thing is, they come in a ridiculous variety of flavors, and even sometimes get exclusives that are limited to a season or a certain location. 

Photographer (and friend of this site) Greg Ferguson has kept a collection of all the crazy bars he's encountered in Japan. In his words:

Who doesn't love a good Kit Kat? Thought so. Japan perhaps loves them too much, though. They go willy-nilly cuckoo-bananas crazy over them and show their rabid fanaticism by churning out wacky new flavours and varieties every month. Being a foreigner, I was of course powerless to resist.

It's now been a few years for Greg's album, and it's grown to an amazing 249 photos for wacky flavors like Bitter Strawberry, Tiramisu, Flan, Purple Sweet Potato, and of course, Green Tea Kit Kat. 

Check out all the flavors at Fesapo's Flickr photostream!
