The sushi is made with sweet puffed rice topped with flavored KitKats. They’re also inspired by three staples: Tamago (pumpkin KitKat and white chocolate rice); Uni (Hokkaido melon KitKat and mascarpone cheese rice); and Maguro (raspberry KitKat and white chocolate rice). (Nestlé Japan/File)
KitKat Japan isn’t done making kooky creations. This time, it’s in sweet sushi form.
The sushi is made with sweet puffed rice topped with flavored KitKats. They’re also inspired by three staples: Tamago (pumpkin KitKat and white chocolate rice); Uni (Hokkaido melon KitKat and mascarpone cheese rice); and Maguro (raspberry KitKat and white chocolate rice). Nope, they didn’t make any savory flavors.
Of course, this isn’t sushi without nori. Uni and Tamago comes with seaweed for added flavor and authenticity.

KitKat Japan is known for making flavors like matcha, wasabi, and even sake. They also made a gold-covered chococlate in 2015.
The chocolate sushi will be available at KitKat’s specialty store at the Ginza District in Tokyo starting Thursday. So if you find yourself in Japan, this will make for a great Valentine’s Day gift.
