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.

fruit parfait kit kat (Japan)

Oh man, here we go with another crazy Japanese flavor. I've had this one for a while, I just never got around to eating it. My gay hairstylist brother came over last night to cut my hair and decided he needed to try one of my specialty Kit Kats. We decided on the Fruit Parfait.

Like other Japanese Kit Kats, this one came in two individually packaged double-finger bars inside a well designed box with pictures of various fruits. The smell and the appearance was very similar to the Cantaloupe flavor that I had reviewed several weeks ago, with white chocolate housing a wafer center with small fruit specks chicken pocking the surface. Unfortunately, this Kitter was a bit of a disappointment. Unlike the Hokkaido Melon, there was no distinct smell or taste. Its flavor was more of a conglomerate. I could taste four or five different fruits, but wasn't able to distinguish any of them. This one is only for the Kit Kat die hards out there. Sorry Nestle, you missed on this one.

I think it's really neat how the Japanese Kit Kats usually come in a ornately designed box. This box in turn houses (2) two-finger Kit Kat bars in a more subtle wrapper. Upon opening up this bad boy, the aroma of cantaloupe melons rushed from the wrapper up to my nose. Being a fan of cantaloupe to begin with, this was a good sign of things to come. My first bite into the Kit Kat was one of pure amazement. The chocolate wasn't really chocolate and it didn't even have the "white chocolate" taste either. Instead it tasted like the traditional crisp Nestle wafer enveloped in a sweet creamy Cantaloupe icing. I was very impressed with Nestle's ability to pull this one off without the product coming off too sweet or fruity. Overall, I would recommend this one to other Kit Kat enthusiasts, but the average chocolate and candy lover might find it a bit on the "strange" side.
