Kitto Katto: Japan's candy obsession

Kit Kat candy is exceedingly popular in Japan, where the name itself promises good luck. Up to five million Kit Kat bars are sold every day, in dozens more varieties and flavors than just the familiar chocolate bar available in the U.S. Mo Rocca samples some luxury Kit Kats.

"How big is the kitkat in Japan?"
"They come in many sizes"

[@brendon6455]

Hey buddy, go easy on that sake Kit Kat.

[@nittur1008]

Let's decide the new flavour of KitKat through an online vote.

[@bigchazzamort]

Me

[@danielledavis1524]

i would try it

[@websurfer44]

I have no idea why but I can remember my first Kit Kat. I was a child snow skiing with my parents at Rib Mountain in Wausau, WI. I had seen the distinctive commercials for Kit Kat with lions in them and walked up to a vending machine in the main lodge and bought a kit kat. I liked the snap of the chocolate covered wafers and the foil inner wrapper which was fun to fold after removing (wish they still had that). Anyhow I have no idea why I remember that but I do. Its been years since Ive had a kit cat or any candy bar; just too expensive these days.

[@m.s.flores]

I love Mo Rocca 🥰

[@raydai9541]

He’s better when he hosts the National Geo Bee, less so in this video lol

[@ddd-ro2ty]

That high five was adorable :P

[@thedarci1368]

It would be great to get to try some of their other great looking flavors......

[@LikaLaruku]

I recall Matcha flavor being available for a limited time once.

[@GKP999]

In America, marketing is often about super sizing something without much thought about style unlike in Japan!

[@robinrdpro]

The Tastemade channel has their own Emmy Cho who is traveling around Japan tasting the various KitKat flavors based on regional specialties. KittoKatsu!!

[@xvx4848]

[@madsupervilian.]

Asian supermarkets have them. I know the Thai grocery store carry the green tea kitt kats

Put out the full episodes and watch the subscriber count climb

[@moonsugar8938]

I cant take this seriously because of internet historian

[@unr3alistic]

"Stop eating the entire bar gary"

[@barbaracovey]

You didn't try any of the Japanese flavors. 🤔

[@leslieelaine8499]

You must not have watched the video

[@michaeldugan1738]

So at around 3:16 Mo Rocca, with his authentic pronunciation of 美味しい, atones for his "kitto katto" and "kitto katsu" earlier, which would both be utterly unintelligible to a native Japanese speaker.

Ok
