These
Kit-Kats were bought on Mr.Tea’s last trip to Kyoto! In traditional tea houses,
it is common to pair green tea with a treat. In Kyoto, the common snack served
with tea is yatsuhashi- a cinnamon biscuit. Kit-kat released this flavor with
the yatsuhashi inspiration while Mr. Tea was in Japan. The first Kit-Kat store
in Japan opened in January of this year located in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Kit-Kat candy is really popular in Japan and sweets/foods are generally given as
gifts and used as a token of good luck since the name sound like “kitto katsu”
which means “you will surely win!”
When
I first opened the Kit-Kat wrapper, I first thought of Christmas. The strong,
pleasant smells of cinnamon and nutmeg are the first impression from this
candy. Unlike most Kit-Kat products, it is made with white chocolate which
pairs well with the flavors. It still has the same crunchy texture as a normal
Kit-Kat, but a unique flavor. We both loved the taste and wish there was more
to snack on!
This pack of Kit-Kats was sold in 5 packs or you can grab the 12 packs. Since Japan uses candy mainly as a gift, this
would make the perfect souvenir from a trip! They are mainly found in Kyoto,
the new Kit-Kat Chocolatory in Japan, and sometimes online. We would recommend
pairing them with a nice green tea for that authentic taste!
