Here's something we tried last week: Azuki (sweet red bean) flavoured KitKat. The chocolate had a very faint pink colour with dark spots in it, presumably bits of red bean. Unfortunately neither of us were very convinced by the red bean taste -- it just seemed incredibly sweet. I must admit that I found the Azuki bean ice cream I had tried earlier far too sweet as well, to the point where I couldn't actually eat it.Top marks for this lovely KitKat packaging with its gold lettering, though.
More about Azuki beans on good ol' wikipedia.

There are an amazing variety of KitKats in Japan. They are eaten by and given to students in need of luck as it sounds like one of their "good luck!" sayings.
Haven't tried the azuki ones, but there were some "gourmet" chocolate ones which were great. They only seem to last for a while though before the next flavour is flavour of the month. Shame.
