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?
