When I got home (slightly disappointed) I found out online that it was ONLY online orders!!!!! Totally not funny. I then ordered four packs (sets) of the four different flavours they are selling for a special price only during that day for £3.99. I’m saving one set for a friend and the rest are for me to indulge in!!

They finally arrived on Saturday 2nd June via Royal Mail (first class post). It’s unfortunate I had to pay extra for postage and packaging, otherwise I would’ve ordered more Kit Kat’s! But you could never know, after tasting these I just might get some more.

Japanese Kit Kat!

4 different flavours are available from Japan Centre, UK

They are miniature Kit Kat’s and not like the normal sized or mini sized version Kit Kat’s you would find in the UK, which is a little disappointing and a tad expensive. But this is understandable as the Japanese like things miniature and pricing is always expensive in Japan!

I tried all four of them. First up was the Shizuoka Wasabi Horseradish.

When I opened the package, it had this sweet white chocolate smell. As soon as I put it in my mouth you could instantly taste the mixture of sweet white chocolate blended with wasabi. There was a wasabi aftertaste too.

Next up was the Yokohama Strawberry Cheesecake! Wow a cheesecake flavour!

It sounded like a strange combination, but actually, the taste was perfect. You could instantly smell the strawberry flavour as soon as you opened the package. After a bit of chewing of the chocolate and the wafer you could taste the combination of the strawberry cheesecake, chocolate and wafer very well. I like this flavour!

Kyoto Matcha Green Tea came next…

There wasn’t much of a strong green tea smell when I opened the package, but it did smell of green tea when smelt close up. I’m not much of a green tea flavoured stuff fan (i.e. ice cream), but this was ok.

Finally I tasted the Yokohama Almond Tofu!

Woah, once I opened this package, you could smell a very strong sweet smell! I started munching on it, and this one is very, very sweet! Strong almond taste with a hint of soft tofu texture taste.

So which one would I buy the most of next time… The winner is… The Shizuoka Wasabi Horseradish (^_^)b
