If the cruise ship looks familiar to you, that’s because it’s the same image used on a well-known local sweet souvenir made by famed sweet company Ariake. Called the Ariake Yokohama Harbor Double Marron, this Japanese chestnut cake is shaped like a ship in honor of the port city, and the image on the package is said to be modeled on the largest ocean liner in the world, the RMS Queen Mary 2.

The small sponge cakes are filled with chopped Japanese chestnuts and Japanese chestnut paste, and are loved by many for its sweet, mellow flavor. Now people from around the world who visit Yokohama and Kanagawa Prefecture, where the city is located, will be able to enjoy the taste of this famous local souvenir in the form of a tasty KitKat.

Given that chestnut-flavored goods spike in popularity during autumn, now is the perfect time for this new release to set sail. Each box will retail for ¥800 (US$7.50) each, plus tax, and will be available at the Ariake head store and branches directly managed by them from 7 September. The new KitKats will then appear at souvenir stores around Kanagawa Prefecture from September 11, 2019.
