Japanese Kit-Kat

I was sorting through photos of my Mount Fuji climb. One billion photographs (actual number) and my task was to decide which one most effectively depicted the morning sunlight over the torii arch. Then I thought, screw it, why not just blog the latest Japanese Kit-Kat?

The newest flavour is Juujitsu Yasai, which means ‘full of vegetables’ and are made in collaboration with Ito En vegetable juice drinks. The coating is apple and carrot chocolate, while the wafers inside are layered between juujitsu yasai cream.

I was a bit disappointed with it myself, since I was expecting something unspeakably vile to blog about. It tastes mostly of apples, with a softer undertone that may or may not be carrots. Not bad, all things considered.

    That’s so strange. I had no idea Kit Kat came in various flavours.

      Yep! I recently tried apple vinegar (basically sour apple flavour) and also ramune. Despite the flavours sounding pretty grim, they somehow always taste good.

      …I liked Shiso Pepsi too. :)

    I love different flavor Kit Kats as well.. of all of them what is your favortite?

    Hmm I tried those two flavors you mention – apple vinegar and ramune.

    Did you ever try liquer flavor Kit Kats.. those are good. ^_^

    I would love to try Pepsi Shiso as well, but wouldn’t be able to taste it. However isn’t Pepsi Shiso a drink rather than Kit Kat?

      I liked the kinako Kit-Kats best, but that flavour seems a natural choice. Never tried liquer flavour though.

      Yep, Shiso Pepsi is a drink, but fits in well with the theme of ‘vegetable-favoured stuff that shouldn’t be’. :)

    Opps.. and that was a typo… liquor I meant to type.. and that was a limited flavor a while ago.. Kinkado kit-kats.. sounds good. Yep wrote a comment to your response.
