Gotta love the Internets. While doing research on a recipe, I stumbled upon a fascinating blog called "Japanese Snack Reviews."
Talk about a time sink. After reading about the Apple Vinegar KitKat, I couldn't resist checking out the others. Scroll down this page to see:
- espresso coffee KitKat
- jasmine tea KitKat
- lemon KitKat
- Japanese candied sweet potato (daigaku imo) KitKat
- blueberry and strawberry cheesecake KitKats
- senga sengana strawberry KitKat
- sweet red bean soup (oshiruko) KitKat
- and more
That Japanese candied sweet potato KitKat (pictured above) sounds really interesting to me. Ever try it, or any of the others? If so, please report back.

That almost seems vile... but the intrigue is definitely there :)
That was my initial reaction, too.
But I have eaten stranger things and liked them, so I'm keeping an open mind...
..so long as they don't do 'shrimp' kit-cat, I'm cool with it.. (those actually all sound quite good, I buy any of them if they were offered locally.)
I should have clarified that my initial reaction was to the apple vinegar KitKat.
I'd be happy to try any of the other ones I listed. They seem to be the best of the bunch.
