Nom Nom Nom (Part One)

So, a few weeks ago, I made a big fat order from my new favourite website, http://www.napajapan.com/ a place where one can find all of those elusive KitKats that hide in the more secretive coves of this sultry collection of islands known as Japan.

I haven’t tried all of my purchases yet, but this is the first batch… Some are amazing, and some, quite frankly, are bloody horrible!

Ginger Ale KitKat – 3.5 Fingers

I actually had one of these before Christmas, and fell a little in love with it. Certainly one of the stranger of ideas for a chocolate bar, but it’s one that really does work. But then, why wouldn’t it? Ginger and chocolate is one of those magic combinations that really make my taste buds smile. An excellent little venture.

Milk Coffee KitKat – 4 Fingers

A true gem here; from the moment you unwrap, your olfactory passages are infiltrated with the sweet coffee aroma, and from first bite, the intense flavour excites the palate like few bars ever had. Most definitely one of my all-time favourites.

Sparkling Strawberry KitKat – 1.5 Fingers

Nestle seem keen to push the strawberry flavours… I think this is maybe the fourth or fifth type I’ve had now, and I must say I’m getting a little bored of them. This one however, is not your typical berry blast, but instead a “sparkling” variety, which tastes like one of those awful gummi strawberries you get at the cinema pick-and-mix. Not the Haribo ones, the really awful cheap ones. Not good Mr. N. Not good at all.

Vegetable Juice KitKat – 0 Fingers

Imagine if you will a juice (and indeed one that is massively popular in JapanLand) made of carrots and apples. Lovely, eh? Now imagine a KitKat that encapsulates that flavour.
This is the first KitKat I’ve ever had that I actually couldn’t finish. And alas I have another in the fridge.

Coming soon… Banana, Melon and Buttered Corn flavours, and whatever else they decide to throw at me along the way.
