New Japanese KitKat flavours include sakura and pineapple candy
I recently discovered that region-specific chocolates have become trendy souvenirs in Osaka.
This development is highlighted by the introduction of two new KitKat flavors after a significant wait.
Pine Ame KitKat
The first flavor combines the well-known wafer chocolate with Pine Ame, a traditional candy that many in Japan recognize.
This intriguing mix is crafted by incorporating powdered pineapple juice into the wafers and the cocoa cream filling, aiming to emulate the balance of sweetness and tartness characteristic of Pine Ame.

The resulting treat encases crispy wafers in a coating of pineapple-flavored chocolate, providing a taste of the tropics.
- Box Contents: Contains 10 individually wrapped KitKats
- 价格。 1,166 yen (approximately $7.90)
- Regional Availability: Exclusively sold in the Kansai region, particularly beneficial for visitors attending the Osaka Expo 2025, starting on April 13.

This flavor not only appeals to long-time fans of Pine Ame but also seeks to introduce this classic Japanese candy to foreign visitors.
Sakura-flavored KitKat

In addition to Pine Ame, the Kansai region welcomes another special edition of KitKat—the Sakura flavor.
While I’ve seen variations of sakura KitKats in the past, this particular version boasts an eye-catching gradation of pink hues on the chocolate.
Each bite delivers distinct yet consistent flavor profiles; one end contains milder white chocolate, while the other packs a stronger sakura essence.
This flavor features sakura leaf powder throughout the wafers and the filling, ensuring a delicious experience from start to finish.
- Box Contents: Also packaged in boxes of 10
- 价格。 1,296 yen
- Special Design: Packaging features images of the iconic Osaka Castle and a vibrant depiction of Dotonbori, appealing to tourists and locals alike.
The Sakura KitKat became available at souvenir shops in the Kansai area starting March 3. The unique design and flavor make it a delightful treat for anyone exploring the region.
Summary of Availability

As the new KitKats hit the shelves, chocolate lovers have exciting options to choose from.
With inventive flavors like Pine Ame and the visually appealing Sakura variety, there’s plenty to entice both locals and tourists visiting Osaka.
These limited-edition chocolates not only represent regional specialties but also enhance the cultural experience for anyone attending upcoming events, such as the Osaka Expo 2025.
The careful thought put into these collaborations reflects not just a unique flavor experience, but a celebration of local culture that enhances the enjoyment of anyone who gets to try them.
