Kit Kat Petit (new packaging)

I haven’t seen the Kit Kat Petit in a bag like this before. I found this one at my locan Lawson 100 store. Not bad for 100 Yen!

Hot stuff! Something to keep you warm in the winter months… 唐辛子 (とがらし) (Chilli Pepper) Kit Kat! :D

 

Royal Milk Tea (ロイヤルミルクティー) Kit Kat

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…

くちどけカカオ (melt in the mouth cocoa) Kit Kats… every bit as delicious as they sound!

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…

南国 バナナ (Nangoku Banana) Kit Kats

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! :D

焼きもろこし (Yakimorokoshi – Corn butter) Kit Kat Mail (Hokkaido)

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.

夕張メロン (Yuubari melon) Kit Kat Mail (Hokkaido)

Recently there was a Hokkaido food market in JR Takashimaya in Nagoya Station.  I was very excited to find two new Kit Kats!  Here’s the first, which was totally new to me (and pretty yummy!)…

This is part of a new range of Kit Kat boxes which are designed to be like postcards.  I think the idea is that you can send them as postcards/souvenirs when you travel around Japan.  It’s a pretty neat idea!

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!
