Nestlé Japan released a new Kit Kat flavor this week that has people buzzing. Containing an actual amount of alcohol — 0.8 percent — the new sake flavor is a perfect way to spike your mid-day snack. The packaging even warns that the treat it not for kids.

When I bit into the Kit Kat, it tasted very smooth. It has a very light and subtle taste from the sake, accompanied by the sweetness of white chocolate. It is well worth a try even if you're not crazy about sake.
The new Kit Kat has expectedly made a splash online with many people posting their reactions on social media.
Sake is a rice wine made by fermented rice that has been polished to remove the bran. With many different types and flavors, it is one of Japan's most famous products, and now joins the long list of flavored Kit Kats.
While most countries only get the regular chocolate, Japan has seen an array of colorful Kit Kats, including green tea, pineapple and strawberry cheesecake. We will have to wait and see what flavor Nestlé Japan comes up with next.
