KitKat challenge May 2011

The latest instalment of my KitKat challenge.

Pudding KitKat
This was not dissimilar from the Kobe pudding KitKat. Possibly less sweet but only slightly.


Citrus KitKat
This and the following three KitKats are courtesy of my kiwi friend who travels a great deal more than I do. This one was tangy and orangey but also quite lemony. Very enjoyable.


Apple KitKat
This was.. very appley and quite sweet. It was nice and I'd eat it again, but it's not top of my list.



Chili KitKat
It took a few seconds for the hot chili to kick in. But kick in it did.


Blueberry Cheesecake KitKat
This was one of the cruellest KitKats. It tasted divine.. if you held your nose. The Japanese don't seem to understand the use of cheese in desserts and use the most pungent and smelly cheese ever. I don't understand. Anyway, I did eat it all. If I didn't breathe through my nose, it tasted amazing.



Tiramisu KitKat
I got so excited to find this one.. but was disappointed when no sooner had I removed the wrapper than the waft of cheese once again smacked me in the face. So much for a delicate mascarpone. I couldn't taste the coffee (or the chocolate) over the smell of cheese in this one. So much potential.


Edamame KitKat
In the Tohoku region they eat a lot of ground up sweetened edamame, so this is the token KitKat from that area. Recently they have been selling them locally and donating money from the proceeds towards the areas affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
It tasted.. odd. It appeared to start off tasting a bit like green tea but definitely got more 'beany' as the eating went on. I'd buy it again because every little helps, but.. yeah. Odd.
