Very disappointing to hear. Nestle are evil and an absolutely vile company that has purposely starved children to sell more of their products.

I get your point but unfortunately I’m not sure the issue you raise is specific to Japan (we can have a whole discussion on how large corporations tend to get greedy and evil…). I do think those omiyage are very unique and typical of Japan. Didn’t you encounter those while you visited Japan?
Kitkats are typical omiyage gifts in Japan
KitKat is exclusively made by Nestle. So how are you unsure about how this is specific to Japan?
Maybe give a gift that doesn’t come from a corporation that starves children in Africa for profit.
