Recently, we learned there are region-specific KitKats in Japan. So when I went out to Kobe this week, I made it my mission to find some special KitKat in Kobe. I did!
This is Salt and Caramel KitKat. Some parts were saltier than others but you can really taste the salt on it. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a picture of what the bar looked like since it was partially melted by the time I opened it up. Who would have thought mixing sugar and salt into one delicious chocolate bar, plus caramel, would be so amazing?
On Helene's way to France this summer she came across Wasabi KitKat at Kansai Airport. I've never seen this kind before and I've searched for it since I've gotten here.
Normally, I go for the boxed KitKats because I've figure d it's the standard. Only in recent years have they perverted the pure KitKat concept with the single large-size bars. But they do have original bar-size flavours so I've decided to not be a KitKat bigot.
Unlike the North American brands of KitKat Japanese ones have two little packs per carton. This is what one of the packs look like. The Japanese love to individually wrap everything.
Overall, it tasted pretty foul. It didn't have much of a sugar taste or Wasabi taste. Only after a few bites did I start to feel the Wasabi aftertaste. I don't really recommend it.
Fail!!
Fail!!
