ohhh sweets I cant resist X3

Look chocolates always have interesting flavors 

yay new flavor of kit kat I havent tried yet!! WASABI!!! :D thank you!!!

havent did a kit kat review in a LONG time so here is a mini one haha

sounds pretty scary right?? wasabi chocolate? each single packs comes with 2 normal size kits kats

well I was so excited to try this since it sounds so interesting,, thought it was gonna be over powering with wasabi flavor but with all limited flavor kit kats its really mild in the flavor, you taste the white chocolate flavor first and then you taste the mild wasabi afterwards which is pleasantly good! No sting or spicy-ness you taste with the real wasabi :D Its really neat flavor and fun to eat for sure! 

Matcha *green tea kit kat

I love matcha so I love this flavor of kit kats so much!has good flavor of matcha with no bitterness :) If you love Matcha I think you will find this good as well, taste like matcha latte!

My Hunnie Rina always sneaks in a love package and always makes me feel guilty for making her spend  so much on me,,,, X3 Thank you so much for always putting a smile on my face dear and always sending me new products to try!! You pamper me WAY TOO MUCH love!!

LE Kit Kats review :3

Hi~ :D

Here is my Limited Edition kit kats review♥

if you are new readers you will get to know that my blog is VERY random lol I feature stuff that I love or things that interests me,, so I hope you like them too :3

so one of my love are snacks and candies! especially asian/Japanese snacks! so LE kit kats are my current obsession and infatuation that I am going through right now since its so cool and interesting to eat so many different cool flavors! In Japan alot of the food makers comes out with limited edition flavors to keep buyers interested in their products so there are consistently new or seasonal flavors with line up of their products so Nestle of Japan always comes up with limited time flavors of their kit kats, so its really cool to try different types of flavors they come up with and fun to eat :3

I put the kit kats in the line up from most favorite to least favorite lol

also I have been buying the LE kit kats and ekiLove candies from www.asianfoodgrocer.com

they have great customer service very prompt and quick, items are nicely packaged and very professional. They have started $5 flat rate shipping from FedEx ground, so how ever many item you get its still $5 for shipping! also free shipping if you spend $75 or more :D I always end up ordering $70 or more since they have huge selection of snacks/candies since I get mostly junk food..... :B lol

also popular items like the kit kats do sell out fast but they do restock often so check back if the kit kats are sold out :D

ok so first this Strawberry chocolate kit kat are my all time favorite flavor tied with matcha kit kats! Tastes exactly like real chocolate covered strawberries! good mix of both flavor, the wafer has strong strawberry flavor its so good! I highly recommend if you love chocolate covered strawberries! X3

Sparkling Strawberry kit kats

with all of LE kit kats with soda fuzzy flavors there is this sour fuzzy flavor to them which I think its really interesting mixed with white chocolate, it does taste exactly like it name sparkling strawberry :)

outside strawberry chocolate inside fuzzy semi sour soda flavored wafers.

Royal milk tea kit kats

If you love Royal milk tea you might love this one, it does have the rich royal milk tea flavor and smell but it is still chocolate so you taste white chocolate equally, still they have captured the great royal milk tea flavor and the wafer tastes really good :D

Ginger ale kit kat

I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed this flavor, when I was growing up I loved ginger ale! But I forgot how good ginger ale was and this kit kats sparked my interest again lol X3

it sorta taste and smells like ramune soda, again with soda flavor kit kats the wafer have this sweet sour flavor the ginger ale chocolate tastes really refreshing and interesting, I think this tastes in between ginger ale/Ramune soda, I really like~ it very unique :)

Maple kit kats

This one is still good but I only tasted faint taste of maple more of white chocolate flavor but if you love maple you will still like them. Zach loves maple and he loved them, he thought it was really good and wanted more but I didnt share another one since Kay-chan sent them to me from Japan lol X3

Lemon vinegar kit kat

ok so from the sound of it lemon VINEGAR you think eww or ummm... right :P well its really interesting flavor for them to make of right? its not bad but I didnt really taste the vinegar part it was mostly lemon flavor with milk chocolate flavor, so if you like lemon and chocolate you will like this one.

Kinako Ohagi kit kat

Kinako is soy powder its is used in traditional wafu sweet snacks usually used with mochi, some people say they taste like peanut butter or peanutty, ohagi is when you make mochi in to balls that is added garnished with usually sweet bean paste its a old traditional japanese dessert,,,so with that said its supposed to taste nutty and sweet beany flavor. well I love kinako they are sooo good with mochi so I thought I would love this one but I was really disappointed,, you know what this taste like to me,, it tastes exactly like Reese's pieces but not as strong peanut butter flavor! I like reese pieces too but I was expecting kinako ohagi! so I guess if you like reese's pieces and peanut butter you will love this one lol X3

well most of the limited edition flavors do get discontinued so some of the flavors here might be already discontinued :( but you can get newer flavors from Asianfoodgrocer and in few asian grocery so if you find them give them a try they are really fun to eat and test your taste buds! ^__^

hope you get to try them too~!

XOXO
