Kitkat is supposed to taste like light wafer snacks coated in rich milk chocolate. It has that iconic melt-in-your-mouth flavor and texture that we have all come to love over the years. However, Japan had other plans for this household brand. Moreover white chocolate or its matcha variant, you can find a sea salt and lemon Kitkat in the Land of the Rising Sun!

#3 Starbucks Sakura Frappe | Japan
Japan is so pretty in both an urban and nature-sense, especially when the sakura (A.K.A. cherry blossoms) are in full bloom. Representing renewal and optimism, the subtle pops of pink for these blossoms symbolize the conclusion of winter and the coming of spring. Japan has even incorporated the beautiful meaning of sakura into their Starbucks drinks in the form of refreshing frappes. These frappes may be unusual, but they definitely look dreamy and we can guess that they taste like a unicorn’s laughter.
#4 McDonald’s Nutella Burger | Italy

Just when we thought that they could never top pizza, they brought us this genius treat! Italian food is simply unparalleled. Grazie, McDonald’s Italy, grazie!
