Information:

English Name:
Strawberry
Native Name:
ストロベリー or 苺
Countries:
Japan 🇯🇵, Brazil 🇧🇷
Earliest Record:
2000
Taste:
Tastes like strawberry, little sweet, little sour.
Notes:

Strawberry KitKats were the first special-edition flavor released in Japan. They debuted in 2000.

According to the Japanese Wikipedia page on KitKat the Pocket size Strawberry KitKat was produced first in 1998.

As of 2021, there have been 35 different strawberry flavored KitKats, including several specific types of strawberry and strawberry + flavor variants.

The initial packaging I found used 苺 but most new packaging uses ストロベリー.
