The new invention was born in Kochi prefecture which is the largest producer of yuzu in Japan. Yuzu is a fruit unique to Asia. It is about the size of a lime or a mandarine and usually golden yellow when fully ripe. Flavorwise it tastes like several citrus fruits combined with the tartness of a lemon.

Kochi's sake brewery BIJOFU has paired up with KITKAT to create this new uniquely flavored chocolate. They produce a flavorful yuzu sake which is used in powdered in the Yuzu Sake KITKAT. The two pair exceptionally well together as well!
The chocolate, as well as the cream between the wavers, are yuzu flavored. The cream has a bitterness to it which can also be found in yuzu and pairs well with the creamy white chocolate. KITKAT Mini Yuzu-shu Bijofu offers a unique flavor experience even to a brand as inventive as KITKAT Japan
