I have a love-hate relationship with rainy days on weekends, on one hand it makes the hot weather much more bearable, on the other, it forces me to stay indoors.
Anyways... after spending another weekend at home because of the rain, I ended up with a boxful of Japanese confectionery from napaJapan.
My goodies arrived super quickly!!! This impressed me so much, it was incredibly fast even for EMS shipping. I liked how everything reached me intact and the boxes weren’t squashed at all.
On to my review! (^ ω ^)
Beni Imo/ Purple Sweet Potato
Those who have tasted the Roasted Sweet Potato flavour (reviewed here) will feel a jolt of recognition. They taste fairly similar! They also have the same white chocolate base where the only variation is Nestlé coloured this flavour in a pretty lavender shade.
Blueberry Cheesecake
The blueberry flavour married so well with the white chocolate base. My mouth salivates just thinking about this kit kat bar!!
It is pretty faithful to its name, it tastes lightly of blueberry and not forgetting a generous helping of sweet cream cheese. It is so creamy and utterly palatable!
This flavour is my favourite amongst the four reviewed in this entry ♥♥♥
Hojicha
An established tea maker specializing in Uji tea, Itoh Kyuemon, collaborated with Nestlé for this hojicha flavoured kit kat. Hojicha is a type of green tea that is rendered brown by roasting over charcoals.
This kit kat has got a wonderful rich fragrance, the aroma reminded me of caramel. The hojicha flavour was nutty and toasty without being bitter and it merged magnificently with the white chocolate bar. I’m devastated that I only got two fingers to try, it is remarkably good!
Strawberry Cheesecake
Another cheesecake flavour! They were even released at the same time (but in different regions).
The outer shell is made from white chocolate (my favourite)! Unlike its blueberry cousin, the strawberry one has an artificial aftertaste. I am on the fence with this flavour, I thought that the other strawberry kit kat that I ate a while ago was much better comparatively but it isn't terrible per se.
Got more kit kat reviews coming up, so please stay tuned! And thanks for reading (^ ω ^)

The different flavours of Kit Kat in Japan are amazing....They can make anything into a Kit Kat - lol!
These are some pretty crazy flavors. I'm not a KitKat fan, but I'd love to try some of these. Need to link your post to one of my bloggy friends, who is a KitKatoholic :P
