Nom Nom Nom (Part Two)

So, to continue my bumper bundle of beauties from my newfound chums at http://www.napajapan.com/ we have some Hokaido specials, as well as the elusive new soda flavours that I nearly made the foolhardy mistake of not picking up last weekend at the 7/11.

Banana KitKat – 3.5 Fingers

This is another of last year’s specials that I rather fell in love with and have been trying to track down since. Bananas and chocolate are an obvious combination, dating back to that first brave man to wrap the two together in tinfoil and throw it on a raging barbecue. Nestle’s venture is a delightful milk chocolate outing that tastes like a yummy banana milkshake. Top banana.

Corn KitKat – 1 Finger

This is the first of two Hokaido specials that NapaJapan were happy to oblige me with. What the hell they were thinking, I’m not sure. Why anyone would want corn flavoured chocolate, I really don’t know. Though utterly disgusting, this KitKat does taste exactly like buttery sweetcorn. But seriously, not a good thing.

Melon KitKat – 3 Fingers

I’ve never been big on the fruity flavours, but I must say that the second of the Hokaido editions is much easier on the tastebuds than its brother. Melony and sweet, its one downfall is the horribly sickly aftertaste.

Cola KitKat – 3 Fingers

Yes, that’s right, Cola flavour. It’s an odd one to say the least, but somehow it works. It think the chocolate is a brown coloured white, though it could be a strangely light milk… Really not sure to be honest. The flavour is a wonderfully aromatic mix of cola and milk, somewhat akin to a traditional coke float. Nom.

Lemon Soda KitKat – 2 Fingers

This is one that really should’ve worked better than it does… Lemon and chocolate is fun, and by and large the soda style bars have been some of the fore-runners in the polls. However, the experience is somewhat underwhelming. White chocolate with an all too subtle lemon hint. Add a little fizz and a bit more pizzazz, and this could’ve been a classic. Alas, it’s flatter than a bottle of White’s that’s had the top left off too long.
