morinaga grape hi-chew (japan)

I had read about these on another blog, though I can't quite remember which one. I've seen them on j-list and asian grocer but had never been able to try it. I won't lie to you, this package looks like it was designed by a ten year old.

The actual chew was much smaller than I thought it would be, about half the size of a Starburst. The candy had a purple center surrounded by a white "White Rabbit" type chew. It was a bit harder and tougher to digest than I would have liked it, but the flavor more than made up for it. The grape was that of a Welch's grape soda and perhaps even better than that. It tasted like the first bite into a piece of grape Hubba Bubba.

Anyways, I would buy this again, if just to try the other available flavors. I wish it were a bit softer, but perhaps the pack I bought had been sitting on the shelf for a while.

mild bitter & orange kit kat (Japan)

Nice, another fancy flavor from Japan. It seems that Nestle Japan likes to put out a new flavor of Kit Kat each month. But really, who am I to argue with that? So, here we have a Mild Bitter & Orange Kit Kat from Japan. I'm really not sure what to expect from this flavor but I'm quite intrigued.

As I opened up the end of the wrapper, I took a deep breath of the Kit Kat scent. Hmm... It smelled like an orange Starburst with a hint of chocolate. Now I was really interested. I've never been fond of orange and chocolate together, but I was willing to give it a try in the name of Kitters.

It was interesting. The chocolate was a dark, slightly bitter one that wrapped the fresh, crisp wafers. I suppose if I was more fond of orange flavoring, I would like this Kit Kat much better. However, even with my dislike or orange, I still found this Kit Kat extremely flavorful. I'm gonna have to go ahead and recommend this Kit Kat out there to all those Kitter enthusiasts. It's definitely something different.
