KitKat Japanese Umeshu Tsuru-Ume — chocolate wafers flavoured with Japanese plum liqueur, 13 pieces.

KitKat Umeshu Tsuru-Ume (キットカット 梅酒 鶴梅) — an original Japanese version of the famous KitKat, inspired by umeshu — a traditional Japanese plum wine.

Tsuru-Ume (鶴梅) powdered plum liqueur is used to create the flavour, giving the chocolate the characteristic fruity aroma of the Japanese ume plum. The sweet and slightly refreshing fruity notes pair well with the delicate chocolate coating and crispy wafers.
