Time for another one of my Nestlé Kit Kat chronicles! I’m reviewing some unusual flavours in this entry..
Annin Dofu/ Almond Tofu
Japanese almond tofu has no tofu. It's basically a mixture of gelatin, water and milk (or cream). I can’t pinpoint the exact taste of this kit kat - it stirs up memories of cough syrup but this isn’t a completely fair comparison. It tastes a tad bit better than that!
I’ll have to pass if the real almond tofu tastes alike, tofu puddings are so much better comparatively!! (o ω O)
Miso
The good part about this kit kat? It doesn’t taste like miso at all (^ ω ^)
The bad part? I have plenty of criticisms hahaha. It is very overwhelming due to the multitude of tastes! Sweet due to the presence of the white chocolate base, salty and it ends with a soy sauce aftertaste! *bleugh*
Shoyu/ Soy Sauce
Pairing white chocolate with soy sauce is certainly unexpected! When I think about soy sauce, something sweet and light coloured will be the last thing to spring to my mind.
Fortunately it doesn’t taste of soy sauce at all - it tastes like any other sweet buttery treat. This flavour is a let-down. Don't get me wrong, it is acceptable taste-wise but there’s nothing out of the ordinary about it.
Zunda
I wasn’t keen on the variants in this review except for Zunda. Some of you are probably freaked out by the concept of sweet edamame (soybean pods/ boiled green soybeans) but don’t worry, it’s delicious! In case you were wondering, zunda is a sweet mashed edamame paste that is used in a variety of desserts.
The white chocolate shell melds harmoniously with the edamame flavour. The resulting combination tastes slightly like red bean paste, but not as sweet. It’s light, refreshing and really interesting to eat!
My verdict:
#1 Zunda
#2 Shoyu
#3 Annin Dofu
#4 Miso
You can get these regional kit kats from napaJapan. They are so much harder to get than the regular flavoured ones!

These flavors sound interesting but errrr...the soy sauce one already sounds strange haha! You've tried so many different flavors of KitKats now, which would you say is your all-time favorite??
I'm scouring the napaJapan site right now, you're such an enabler! lol
Ah wonderful new edition of the Kitto Katto mag, haha. I had the honour to try out the sakura flavour when I was in Japan in early April and some sort of potato... it was... weird.
kit kat sure does come out with such interesting flavors!! lol i'm glad most of them don't taste like what they are named :/
Wow, so many new kit kats! I can't wait until some of these come to the States! :)
omg the zunda looks really good !!! i like edamame anyway, so i'm sure i would like this =D
mmm yum i love j-kitkats
Thank goodness for the zunda! I really like almond, so it's disappointing to learn the folks at KitKat couldn't make that one decently. Have a nice weekend. =)
I think I gained a few pounds just looking at the pics...hee hee... ;) They all sounds so scrumptious!
(Just the bag!)
Very interesting! The almond sounds nice as does the last one. A "soy sauce aftertaste" though sounds horrible! Why would anyone think that could work haha
Wish we had those flavours in the UK!
all the kitkat sweets are making me mouth watering again.
Thanks for the awesome Kit Kat reviews Blair. Wah the soy sauce and miso ones sounded yucky and your review confirmed it LOL. I love Almond Tofu so sorry to hear that kit kat one wasn't very good. The green one looks cute.
Omg I find those flavours sooo weird *-*
And while reading your reviews I still think: "how can this taste good"?!
So ... weird XD Who coms up with this?

That's a lot of unusual flavors from kit kat! I can't imagine soy sauce and chocolate together but luckily it doesn't taste like it :D
Your birth was July 25th? So I was such REALLY late hahahaha
