Why I'll NEVER Eat Japanese Kit-Kat Again...
Рет қаралды 115,215
5 ай бұрынJapan is obsessed with Kit Kats. This is not new, but the flavors are ALWAYS changing, so I spent a few months collecting EVERY flavor and tried them all out (which I do not recommend btw) From the range of Matcha kit kats, to strawberry and beyond, this is Every Tiny Japanese Kit Kat Flavor...

Loved the video Norm, as always. For the ruby: Ruby is a certain type of chocolate. The color (Pink) and taste (Berry like) are coming from the cacaobeans they used in it. I like the flavor a lot myself, but can see how not everybody will be a fan :)

I’ve tried the Ruby before. I think sweet and pink is an apt description. Nondescript. Confusing. Not bad. But not good enough to warrant buying again.

They taste wonderful, but make my pre-existing chocolate allergy (the darker the worse) act up even worse than dark chocolate. So while its tasty its also so hard to breathe afterwards for an hour or so TAT (And its really expensive for essentially fruity pink chocolate with worse effects than pitch black 100% cacao chocolate)

"I was wrong" just killed me, that was so on point. Also, i've had tried over 30 flavours of kitkats (and always searching for more, which isn't easy when Japan is basically on the other side of the world) and i've gotta say milk tea, apple pie are some of my favourites. Few of the more interesting ones would also be sparkling wine with strawberry, mont blanc or pistachio.

I brought a variety of Kit Kat flavors for my office colleagues from my first trip to Japan in 2019. They really liked matcha, sweet potato and black tea flavor. I personally also liked umeshu and Tokyo Banana flavor. There were still gazillion other flavors which I did not buy, but suitcase space is very valuable when returning from Japan. I really would love to visit again someday. And try more Kit Kats for sure 😄

Cassis (pronounced like: ka-cease) is a French town and also the french word for blackcurrant. Blackcurrant is a popular fruit flavour in a lot of Europe (idk about other European countries but in the UK you can't readily buy blackcurrants as a fruit, but blackcurrant flavoured sweets/drinks are very common). It's not popular in the US because blackcurrant trees carried a disease that was harmful to native trees so the trees were all got rid of a long time ago.

KitKats are one of my favorite chocolate candies! This was very interesting to watch, and I thank you for taking the time and stomachache to taste test all of those for us. Ruby chocolate is definitely an acquired taste. To some it just seems like a fancy colored chocolate while others can tell you the difference in taste immediately. I’m kind of shocked there weren’t more duo types, like mocha (which is amazing) or the mint chocolate. Hope your stomach feels better soon!

I keep finding more wierd KitKat flavors here in Colorado, and some of them I refuse to buy as they are only in full-size bars. I’m already not a fan of blueberry, so when they made blueberry muffin, I avoided it. They had a chocolate strawberry that was just wierd. Honestly, the only ones I really like (so far anyway) are original, dark chocoalte, and dark chocolate mint. I think I tried the “mocha” flavored one, but it was just meh.

We even did small care packages for the family and close friends with one small kit kat if each flavour. I remember our favourite was one that is slightly bigger single piece with nuts or dried fruit on top. Keep up the good work. Merry Xmas.

I just returned from a month-long vacation in Japan and my omiyage obligations were met with lots of KIT-KATS. One of the flavors I brought back that wasn't part of your haul was PEACH. It was pretty popular, as was STRAWBERRY and UJI MATCHA. The Matcha was my favorite. I also brought back both sake flavors and my reaction was the same as yours for both; the umeshu was surprisingly nice.

Hi Norm! Fun fact, I actually wrote a research paper on KitKats in Japan, for my Japanese Marketing class at a Japanese University. Including a separate section for the KitKat Chocolatory that you visited in Osaka. The Ruby KitKat is actually its own unique type of chocolate. To me it had a faint strawberry taste. My favorite flavor of KitKat in Japan is sakura kinako!

My favorite part of getting the Tokyo Treat box was the kit kats. My fave were peach, melon, Cafe au last, orange chocolate and the japan sake. Japan seemed to use more white chocolate than milk chocolate. I think if they used milk chocolate some of the ones you didn't like would have been better.

However, if you haven't experienced the Halloween themed Apple Pie flavored Kit Kat, you owe it to yourself to hunt one down during the month of October. It is unique and very layered. Our favorite to date. Thanks again for the fun time (even though it was provided at your discomfort). Cheers!

Flashback to when a friend and I did this with all the Japanese kitkats we could get our hands on from HMart, Mitsuwa, Daiso, and other Asian markets near us. Fun video!

I've had the sake kitkat before and recently. I feel like the flavor is a lot different than I remember. The first version I got over 4 years ago was closer to amazake and had a ricey flavor to it. Not bad, an acquired taste for sure. Umeshu also took a little getting used to, but that was much more pleasant.

I love that Japanese gives out kitkats during exam seasons. They even have sections for you to write message at the back (kitkat from japan).

I tried 40 something of the Japanese Kit Kat over the years. My fav is still the passionfruit one, which was available back in 2013. I still keep a list of the flavours I tried, but a lot of them aren't that good.
