Yeah, went with high hopes but was a complete waste of time. Barely more than a corner in the Seibu basement. Honestly, better availability at a Donki or even the local grocery store.

I haven't been to the one in Ikebukuro but passed the Kit Kat Chocolatory in the Daimaru basement at Tokyo Station a few times. They don't sell ordinary Kit Kats but more upmarket versions and have some displays.

I've been there too. They do sell some varieties that are exclusive to the Kit Kat chocolatories. I can't remember what exclusive flavors they had when I was there, but I think orange liqueur might have been one of them. It had alcohol in it.

Otherwise they sell stuff that's available elsewhere in Tokyo. But they had quite a few flavors when I went. More than you'd find at a local grocery store. Every one of the stacks in the photo of the counter you posted is a different flavor.
