I’m very excited about the latest Kit Kat to hit the shelves in Japan. This is a British-themed “Royal Milk Tea” (ロイヤルミルクティー) Kit Kat, and it’s very yummy! I think it goes straight into my top ten, in fact!
It also happens to be quite beautiful in its design…

This is the regular sized Kit Kat…

And inside it has a smart blue design…

My co-worker managed to blag me the display box again! Isn’t it gorgeous??

Oh my, I think I’ve died and gone to heaven with this new Kit Kat flavour! Actually, I should say ’style’ as opposed to ‘flavour’. Introducing…. くちどけカカオ Kit Kats! I love the phrase くちどけ, which is a new one for me. くち is mouth, and くちどけ appears to be a set phrase which literally means “melt in the mouth”. This style of chocolate seems to be popular here in Japan around winter time. Last year I had the pleasure of discovering the wonderfully named “Melty Kiss“, and this year I’ve noticed even Pocky seems to have got in on the act (haven’t tried them yet though!). (God I wish I could afford to collect Pocky, too! But then I’d be really fat, and broke!)
Anyway, here they are…

These 南国バナナ (Nangoku Banana) Kit Kats were brought into work by one of my co-workers. She said she just found them in a supermarket, but I was really surprised as I’d never seen these ones before. “Nangoku” means “southern countries”, so it would seem that these Kit Kats are from Okinawa or somewhere, which is another reason I was surprised to see them in Nagoya! They tasted really good!
And here’s the second of my Hokkaido food market finds! I have to say, when I first had this flavour in February I wasn’t so keen on it, but it was a bit better the second time round.

チョコ & 焼きいも (Chocolate & Roasted Sweet Potato) Kit Kats, originally uploaded by Haiku Girl.
A true taste of autumn, I’ve been searching for this new flavour all week and I was excited to find it in Mini-Stop this morning! I love the little 焼きいも (yaki imo) cart on the front of the packet! Kawaii!
And the third of my three new discoveries this morning is…
みそ風味 (Miso-fumi) (Soybean Paste) Kit Kats, Tokai/Hokuriku Limited Edition

Miso?! Yes, that’s right. Hmm… this one’s a bit too sweet, but it’s ok!
The second of my three new discoveries this morning is…
さつまいも味 (Satsumaimo-aji) (Sweet Potato Flavor) Kit Kats, Kawagoe Limited Edition

This one has a real sweet potato smell – and taste! It’s quite nice actually!
