Did I buy every flavor of Japanese KitKat that I found in Japan? Yes, yes I did and I’m rating them all here for you.

Peach 8/10

Lightly sweet, bright flavor, easy to eat a bunch of these.

Lemon Salt 10/10

The surprising (and unanimous) favorite among all my friends that I convinced to try these with me! Lemony with just a hint of salt to maximize the citrus flavor. Easily the best Japanese KitKat.

Matcha Latte 6/10

Lightly flavored, I feel like you get more of the white chocolate than the matcha. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get more of them, but if they were around, I’d eat them.

Shinshu Apple -437/10

SO unexpectedly bitter and not in a good way. Not at all “apple”. The only one that I didn’t finish, so that says a lot.

Wasabi 7.5/10

The wasabi flavor is pretty low-key and hits more at the end. It’s a very edible candy, not too tough on the tastebuds. Enjoyable if you want something more savory.

Strawberry Cheese Cake Flavor 9/10

Sweet, cheese cake-y, very enjoyable to eat. Kind of reminds me of Strawberry Nesquick and I’m not mad about that!

Adzuki Sandwich 1/10

I didn’t know what to expect for this one. I mean, bean sandwich? Not a fan, but it still blew the apple out of the water!

Melon 5/10

If you like cantaloupe, you’ll enjoy this. I’m not a huge fan of cantaloupe, but it’s still a decently flavored Kit Kat.

Have you tried any Japanese KitKat flavors? Were they hits or misses?

If you like it, put a pin on it!
