take a look at Facebook page shiokjapan vietnam and u will be able to see the different flabours of Kit Kat.

the Kit Kats from Japan are much better then those ordinary ones that u see outside in the supermarket.

Sorry, but the Japanese can't take credit for Kit Kat.  That goes to the English. 

From Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Kat

Use of the name "Kit Kat" or "Kit Cat" for a type of food goes back to the 18th century, when mutton pies known as a Kit-Kat were served at meetings of the political Kit-Cat Club in London.
The origins of what is now known as the "Kit Kat" brand go back to 1911, when Rowntree's, a confectionery company based in York in the United Kingdom, trademarked the terms "Kit Cat" and "Kit Kat". Although the terms were not immediately utilised, the first conception of the Kit Kat appeared in the 1920s, when Rowntree launched a brand of boxed chocolates entitled "Kit Cat".

Saying "Nestle Japan" makes Kit kat and therefore is Japanese would be saying "Toyota Motor North America" makes cars and therefore its American.  They tried selling Toyota as "made in America" and therefore American but nobody bought it.

The Japanese can have their Samurai and Bullet Trains, but Kit Kats are for the English. :joking:

I would say Japanese chocolates are popular nowadays because of their different flavours unlike the normal white and dark chocolates.
