With Just 19 Or So Days To Go,

it is time to start thinking about a little something for Valentines Day,


 and what better gift to give than chocolate? so if you are lucky enough to live or be in Japan here are a few ideas, firstly I Love Fruits combines sweet white chocolate with fruit powder for a divine selection of fruity chocolate treats, the set contains ten individually wrapped single mini KitKat sticks in the following flavours (2 sticks of each):

- Strawberry
- Blueberry
- Raspberry
- Yuzu
- Passionfruit

previously available only at the Chocolatory in Ikebukuro, KitKat's deluxe range of premium KitKats are now available to send overseas, but be warned, as the weather heats up it becomes more difficult to guarantee chocolate will arrive in good condition, if temperatures in your location are above 23C (73F) please consider the possibility chocolates may arrive discoloured or slightly damaged, at temperatures above 28C (82F) the products may begin to melt completely in transit,

for a different gift set there is the Chocolatory Deluxe KitKat Mini Gift Set, it contains a sample selection of premium KitKat flavours with the mini Gift Box Set containing 8 mini KitKats in four flavours (2 KitKats for each flavour). Flavours include:

- Butter
- Strawberry Maple
- Pistachio and Raspberry
- Green Tea and Kinako (Soybean Powder)
 or for something a little different, the limited-edition Shinshu Apple KitKat features wafers smothered in apple flavoured milk chocolate, apples are a popular fruit of the Shinshu region of Japan, the package contains 12 mini apple KitKats,

and now to the Subline, the ultimate indulgent KitKat is now here, limited to only 300 single sticks per day this exclusive and exceptionally popular Dark Chocolate KitKat aims to give the ultimate KitKat experience, using 66% Cacao to create it's deliciously bitter exterior this is a must try for KitKat fans! The package contains a single KitKat stick, it is strange how different products take off in different counties, certainly in Japan the KitKat is King, for a look at more treats from Nestle Japan have a look here

or if you are lucky enough to be in Japan you can visit the "KITKAT Chocolatory" it is a KITKAT speciality shop under the complete supervision of the chef and owner of the popular patisserie "Le Patisserie Takagi", Yasumasa Takagi, 

and there is also a map, showing regional products based on the locale, hopefully dedicated cooled chocolate shops will start to appear in other warm countries taking on the range of different KitKat products in warmer climates, but what treats await your Valentine in Japan.
