exotic hokkaido kit kat (japan)

Mmm... I got a few of these singles from Japan because I didn't want to break open the bulk pack that I have in my collection. I've been dying to try this flavor for quite some time. The Exotic Hokkaido Kit Kat is packaged in an elegant white plastic wrapper adorned with the Le Patissier Takagi logo as well as a screened "Exotic" logo in the background. It's quite a change from the normal and chunky style Kit Kat wrappers.

Upon opening the wrapper that familiar scent of milky white chocolate came rushing out. Being that the Exotic Hokkaido flavor is based on a berry and cheesecake palate, I was expecting something like the blueberry fromage that I had reviewed some months back. This one tasted something like a raspberry cheesecake that had been left out in the warm air for some time. The chocolate was smooth a milky and the wafer was crisp as always. However, I wasn't really sure if I liked the combination all that much. Overall, if you really like kitters, I say go ahead and try it, but this one isn't for the everyday sweet tooth.

new kit kats and aero bars from Japan!

I got home from the mall today and look what was waiting outside my door! Jason's package from Japan had arrived. As you can see above, there are two of the "Exotic" series - The Tokyo and the Kansai. These ultra-premium Kit Kat editions fetch for about $25.00 each. Also included in the shipment were two Mango flavored Kit Kat Monogataris, two Cantaloupe Flavored Aero packs, Patissier Takagi's Chocolatier Kit Kat featuring a mixture of strawberry, pistachio, almond, and thyme flavors, and finally, a few singles so I could taste the exotic flavors without opening up the larger boxes. Keep reading, I'll definitely be reviewing some of these in the next few days.

This one ought to be interesting. I was supposed to review this yesterday but didn't get a chance. My two sisters are going to give their input as they try the kitter along with me. On another note, I was just informed by Jason over in Japan that Nestle is releasing a new limited edition (read: expensive) Kit Kat fashioned from Green Tea and Rice. I'm looking forward to emptying my pockets for that one. In the mean time I should have a few more Exotics coming in a week or two.

I was unable to get a boxed version of this flavor. Instead I have just a two finger mini-bar from a bulk pack. The wrapper was dull blue with the Nestle Kit Kat logo on it and a few Japanese characters. Upon opening the package, a cloud of "cheese" came rushing out, followed soon after by the smell of blueberries. Below, find the reviews of my siblings.

MuD: It's hard to describe. It tastes like ultra-creamy cheesecake with a hint of vanilla. The blueberry flavor never really came out though.

Jen: It tastes like what you would expect blueberry shortcake to taste like...hard to describe, but still yummy!

Sheila: Semi-yum. Tastes a bit like the Special K blueberry breakfast bars mixed with white chocolate. Wouldn't buy it, but would share another bar with MuD.
