KitKat: Green Tea

Dad brought back a bunch of Japanese goods from his flight to Osaka, and this Green Tea flavored Kit Kat was one of them. He told me that his friend, Oom Al, recommended him to buy the chocolate because it tasted great. As a person who has never tried flavored KitKats, other than Chocolate KitKat and Vanilla KitKat, I was pretty excited to find out how this particular chocolate tasted like.

Made in Japan

I opened the box and I was welcomed with blocks of green-colored boxes. "Have a break, have a Kit Kat," was written on the thin boxes. It was a pretty scenery, it made me feel like as if I was looking at blocks of bright and shining gold. 

The big box contains 10 thin boxes, filled with 3 mini packagings each. 

Are those blocks of gold, or am I seeing things?

Define "Stairway to Heaven"

I opened a box and got myself three small wrappings of KitKat in it. I unwrapped one of them and found myself a pair of soft-green colored KitKat at the size of my pinky. They smelled like Vanilla KitKat, yet I could smell the bitterness of the green tea as well. 

Took a bite of the petite chocolate and it turned out that the chocolate does tasted great! It actually tasted like Vanilla KitKat, but you can definitely taste a hint of green tea in it. The chocolate was very sweet, far from sharing the same taste with matcha, and it was enjoyable.

Each of these has three KitKats in them

Peek-a-boo!

Behold, the sweet Green Tea flavored KitKat

Les Quatre Fantastiques

Dad just got home from his flight to Osaka and he brought me a bunch of Japanese snacks, woohoo! 

The Fantastic Four

Meet Choco,  a cup of chocolate-coated potato chips. My Hiragana skill is bellow average, leading me to not be able to read what's written on the snack's packaging, so I just name this snack "Choco".

This is Nissin Mini Cup Noodle! We have this particular cup noodle back in Indonesia, but most of them are large in size. This mini cup noodle is very petite and adorable, despite the fact that it is merely a cup of instant noodle. It even come with a pair of petite chopsticks.

Since I'm not able to understand what's written on the packaging, I simply refer this snack as Asahi Biscuit: Caramel and Fruits. I'm guessing that the biscuits are baked with dried fruits, sandwiching a generous amount of caramel cream. I haven't tasted this biscuit yet, but I bet it tasted funky and amusing!

And can we all agree that the packaging itself looks adorable, with those bunnies and fruits, and eye-catching orange-based background?

Last but not least, a box of Green Tea Kit Kat, or Uji Matcha Kit Kat. Dad bought this particular box of chocolate because a friend of his recommended him the snack. "He told me that the chocolate tasted great, so I bought it," said Dad.

I can't wait to get my hand on these unique snacks!


P.S. Thank you Dad for these awesome souvenirs!
