    KitKat Chocolatory

    Counterpart to the drugstore/convenience store/discount stores bought KitKats, here at KitKat Chocolatory, a special Sublime edition of KitKat bars are sold which cost an eye-watering 300 to 500 yen (excluding tax) for a single bar. The Chocolatory takes regular KitKats and the brand to a whole new level while still having that sense of familiarity, making their products great gifts and personal treats.

    My KitKat Program

    The KitKat Making takes about 30-40 mins plus extra 30 minutes to wait for the chocolate to refrigerate.Creating your very own KitKat is simple, pour the selected melted couverture chocolate into the molds and topp it with a crispy wafer and your selected toppings. Participants in the program will be able to choose 4 toppings out of the 17 options including regulars like hazelnut, coconut, dried raspberry, marshmallows, pretzels, silver dragées, and some unique options like edible flowers. And also participants can choose what kind of couverture chocolate they want to use: milk, bitter, or ruby. This ruby chocolate is a fourth type of chocolate that has been developed by famous Swiss chocolate master, Barry Callebaut, who skillfully withdrawn the flavor and color tone naturally presented in the Ruby bean. Nestle had the privilege to be given exclusive rights to release this new type of chocolate and also became the first to commercialize ruby chocolate through KitKat. It has a sweet, creamy and slightly sour flavor although no berries or berry flavor or even color is added to create the pinkness and the sourness.

    Participants are given a cup of coffee or tea while they wait for their chocolate to be refrigerated. Once it is ready to be packaged to go, it will be put in a personally designed KitKat bar box where participants can pick the box from 6 different designs.The experience is 2000yen (excluding tax).No prior reservations are accepted. For those wishing to participate in the program, when the park opens at 11:00, go straight to the store to reserve a spot at either the following slots; 11:30, 13:30, 15:30, or 17:30, or 19:30. There are only 6 people per slot and during weekends and holidays, these slots may run out fast.

    6 different boxes to choose from. From left to right: My kitkat, Aka-fuji, Kabuki, Ajisai, Yama-Sakura and Tsubaki
