Green-Tea Kit Kats, Japan

Why It's Unique: Who would have guessed that this little-black-dress of candy bars could get so exotic?In Japan, green-tea Kit Kats—in which the wafers are coated with a pale green-tea-infused candy coating—are the most notable, but you can also try yubari melon, white maple syrup, pineapple, or even pumpkin Kit Kats. Another hot candy of late has been the "chocolate larva" made by Akita confectioner Komatsuya Honten. While, thankfully, there are no actual larva parts involved, the worm-resembling candies are made of chocolate, cornflakes, and another local snack favorite, dried squid.

Where to Find It: Supermarkets and convenience stores in Tokyo.

Cost: As little as $2.
