    Nestle Japan Ltd., in Kobe City, opened the chocolate store "Kit Kat Chocolatory" in the food department on the first basement floor of Daimaru Kyoto, a department store in Shimogyo Ward, Kyoto, on January 28. This is their first branch in the Kansai area, and it will offer products with Uji Maccha green tea as well as other items.

    Popular for its wide product selection that is particular about ingredients and taste, the store is the fourth branch to open in Japan, following shops in Tokyo and Nagoya City. Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores Co. Ltd. invited the store in order to strengthen the department store's customer drawing power.

    Fully supervised by a famous confectioner, the new store handles products of various flavors, such as a combination of Uji Maccha green tea and roasted soybean flour, Japanese plum, raspberry and others. They have also prepared a box designed like a five-story pagoda that contains an assortment of products. A café is attached to the store for the first time and it offers "Sable," or a French-style biscuit, parfaits, coffee, and so on.
