Pop Japan

Looking for a new sweet treat to try out? Well, look no further because you could easily buy this at your local supermarket or specialty stores in Japan. Kitkat doesn't just come in one flavor; in fact, it comes in around 200 weird and wonderful varieties! From the sweet (like Cinnamon Cookies and Strawberry Cheesecake) to the bizarre (like Red Bean or Grilled Corn).

Unlike most food production, Japan doesn't mess around when they describe flavors. If you open a Kit-kat bar that's Matcha-flavored, you can definitely expect to have that signature Matcha flavor in your mouth once you bite into it.

Here's a few examples of the Kit-kats that look too good to eat:

1. Strawberry Cheesecake

According to reviews, this Kit-kat really does taste and smell like Strawberry Cheesecake! In some cases, it even melts in your mouth too.

2. Matcha

One of the most popular Kit-kat flavors out there, this flavor actually has a secret with it: rumor has it that the Matcha-flavored Kitkat has 3 different recipes! One recipe would be the usual sweet ones you get at your local supermarket or convenience store. The second recipe is a Kit-kat gift series which is available in the Kansai region of Japan. Lastly, the third recipe was made with the help of a Japanese Green Tea Manufacturer that remains unknown. Have you tasted the difference?

3. Kobe Pudding

Inspired by caramel pudding, this treat offers sweet white chocolate with a hint of caramel for the after-taste. This is definitely one to try if you've got a sweet tooth!

4. Houjicha

This flavor is inspired by a local tea prepared in Kyoto for ceremonies. Once you bite into the Kit-kat, you can sense a strong, roasted flavor along with it.

5. Baked Custard

This treat caused quite a stir for all Kit-kat lovers out there who had mixed reviews about it. It wasn't the flavor that was critiqued, but the preparation for it. Some found the baking process unnecessary while some even said that it tastes better when you bake it beforehand.

6. Cinnamon Cookie

This treat is inspired by the Yatsuhashi biscuit, a specialty snack from Kyoto. It has cinnamon bits in the white chocolate coating with a crunchy wafer inside.

7. Sakura Matcha

Being a limited edition treat, this Kit-kat is quite hard to find but once you get a hold of it, it's hard to stop taking this treat. The color's a bit lighter compared to the Matcha flavor they have, and it also has a bit of a floral scent too. According to reviews, it has a milky taste and you can taste a bit of floral notes in there as well.

8. Purple Sweet Potato

Also known in Japan as Beni Imo, this Kit-kat tastes a lot like Taro andhas a smooth, subtle taste that isn't too over-powering for a newbie.
