Roasted Sweet Potato Kit Kat

As strange as it may sound, this Kit Kat flavour actually tastes pretty delish. Some may find it a bit too sweet though. While I don’t absolutely love it, I find this chunky bar very satisfying. I could easily eat 2 by myself at one go but I’m just greedy.

So easy to drink… 2 glasses and I’m all smiles for the night ;P

Dark Bitter Kit Kat

This is Bitter Chocolate flavor. This dark chocolate has a deep bitter taste on crispy wafers that will tingle your taste buds.

I really hope they produce these again soon!

Maiko Makeover

Maiko (まいこ, マイコ) is a Japanese word for dancing girl and is an apprentice geisha. I went for a Maiko makeover at Yumekoubou when I visited Kyoto during the long weekend this month. The transformation was pretty amazing. It was an interesting experience. Would have been more fun if I were doing it together with 1 or 2 other friends though. We could have taken group shots on top of the individual ones. Guys have the option to do a Samurai makeover.

Here are a couple more shots of my makeover.

Special Edition Kit Kat

Rilakkuma character, Strawberry milk flavoured

I bought this from a souvenir shop in Odaiba (Decks Beach Mall). I think these must have been out on the display for some time. The wafers were kinda soft, not crispy as it should be. Taste wise, it’s alright. A bit too milk-ish for my liking. Love the box though! Kawaii~

Cola & Lemonsquash Kit Kat

alyintokyo — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 06:57:39 +0000

This is definitely one of the most interesting tasting Kit Kat I’ve tried. There are 2 different flavours in 1 box. The red packet contains a cola-flavoured Kit Kat chocolate and the yellow packet contains a lemonade-flavoured Kit Kat mixed in with white chocolate wafer. My mouth feels like it’s having a party eating these funky flavoured Kit Kats!

Matcha Kit Kat

I really like this green tea flavoured Kit Kat. Unfortunately, it’s not widely available at the local convenient stores no more. Gotta buy a big pack from the airport the next time I fly into or out of Tokyo.
