This is a "Kin KitKat" that is finished by wrapping gold leaf around the "KitKat Sublim Bitter" (1 piece), which is also the store's signature product. It is said that this gold leaf is carefully hand-finished by a national qualification "traditional craftsman" who has only a few people in Ishikawa prefecture, where gold leaf is produced. In addition, the paulownia box that is handmade by craftsmen using "Bingo paulownia" wraps the product. It is said that it is also branded as a certificate of origin.
