Candy Bar Lab

There are a ton of Kit Kat varieties in the world, especially in Japan. To date, I’ve reviewed four (including this one) and I’ve had many of the originals before. So that makes 5 for me that I’ve tasted - probably more than the average American will ever have. Jen in Japan has reviewed over 60! I’m pretty sure I’ll never reach that number.

Structure
A two-segment molded bar of green tea-flavored white chocolate with layers of crispy wafers inside.

Texture
Classic Kit Kat texture - a soft chocolate shell with a crispy interior.

Taste
It’s really no surprise that Kit Kat has so many varieties. It’s the perfect vehicle for applying various flavorings because the white chocolate and wafers are so flavor neutral. For this bar, the green tea is the
dominant flavor, though it’s still pretty subtle. Overall, I’d say this is a sweet, but not overwhelmingly tasty product.

Verdict
I’m giving this a thumbs down because it wasn’t as good as the other green tea, white chocolate, crispy candy bar from Japan that I reviewed. I’m not a huge fan of green tea either, so I’d rather try one of the Strawberry or other fruit-flavored Kit Kats next time.
