alright guys today we're going to be doing a KitKat taste test
I love KitKat chocolates yes and Japan apparently has over 300 flavors which is
a book that blows my mind because in North America I've only seen about two
or three different kinds a scene one with peanut butter and even dark
chocolate and regular and that's why I stopped in Japan there's a pretty 300
which is crazy and they vary by region you wanna come yeah
so the flavors are both seasonal and regional so in order to try some of the
flavors you actually have to travel to that Prefecture and we didn't have that
luxury so we actually just scoured convenience stores and donkihote
supermarkets and we were able to find eleven slave I know eleven is not bad
and it's certainly enough for this taste test and they're all it's such a random
combination it's the most eclectic combination of flavors you can imagine
and we can't wait to show you what they are and also if you're wondering why Kit
Kat is so popular in Japan it's because the name Kit Kat kind of sounds a little
bit like Kittel katsu which means you will surely succeed or you will surely
win so Kit Kat in Japan ran this whole
marketing campaign about how you could get a KitKat to student in order to wish
them luck and wish them success you know what we're gonna need a lot of luck to
eat all 11 of these so wish us some luck let's get started Fuji magic KitKat
raspberry KitKat mint KitKat dark chocolate Kit Kats wasabi KitKat purple
sweet potato Kit Kats strawberry ice cream sundae Kit Kat Oreo Kit Kat
amazake Kit Kat suck it out and roasted sleeping Kit Kat sake Kit Kat so first
up we are going to be starting with the green tea from Muji
and the nice the next thing is these pic cat comes in come in double so eat yeah
it put in a nap my gosh look at this guy's it is very much a green screen
like all over let's try it it doesn't have a strong green tea flavor no one
doesn't it really doesn't but it doesn't have the normal chocolate flavor it's
it's very subtle it's like white chocolate like a hint of green tea right
at the very end like once you see yellow yeah I would agree it's a very smooth
KitKat look it goes down really nicely I quite like that I would actually buy
that would you eat that I think I go out of my way to move that
one nice one let me drop that I love one this one so this is a really interesting
one guys this is the purple one so far they have acting the colors of what it
appears on the wrapper where are we putting the wrappers
wow that was way stronger than that really mm-hmm mmm both sweeter and more
stronger and taste than the first one we have I find it tastes like honey and
like a little bit floral but not like a potato like oh I'm you know I'm good I'm
getting the taste of the sweet potato real yeah really
maybe our teeth our taste buds are definitely on yeah I like it really
getting I like really like that I was going on yeah I'm sure we'll find one
that we don't like them so this one it looked like a vanilla and strawberry ice
cream sundae on the packaging yes no English writing so we kind of just
assumed the ice cream so let's see this one has kind of like little thoughts and
they also yeah so this one into this it's white with little it's pink inside
it's like strawberry oh no it's a powerful one it takes a bit
too artificial for me I think it's also sweeter than
the other two oh yeah sugar yeah it's not my favorite either I use happy but
the first two it's too sweet for my preference to be on hand to a little bit
too artificially flavored that being said I just ate the whole thing like I'm
not sure I'm not just taking a cockfight oh yeah we're gonna finish them another
pink one what's this one that was raspberry miss Bea if you like this
one's a little bit tart that would be nice okay let's put that in half
this one is yeah it is a little bit pinkish reddish but it's a little more
muted in color oh I'm facing now Roger Wallis tart mmm
it tastes like the raspberry filling and in pink yeah that's one of the most
strongest like in terms of flavor it's really strong but I liked it more when I
first bit into it but the more I was letting that that raspberry case like
roller on my tongue I started to find it a bit artificial
I'm also gonna say I don't love that one I wouldn't go out of my way to have that
one again how about you I liked it but it's quite tart at the end little dude
Rove you know what we should have gotten like two glasses of water or two cups of
tea pause for a moment pause interlude interlude really okay I have returned
that is much better Cheers I have some tea Sam has no energy
I have water she is a fly just landed on my teeth lovely I can't imagine having a
hot beverage in the middle of the afternoon
oh I need to like cleanse my deposits I need to like melt that chocolate somehow
okay so everybody wants a mint now okay this is what I'm making for you I love
chocolate mints though see that's all about yeah take it oh
sorry grab me yours oh yeah that's just it looks like dirt it doesn't I'm not
surprised because normally mint comes in dark chocolate this smells like after we
turn I like I'm really good this is my favorite so far but I do have a big
biased towards chocolate that are flavored with mint I love my after AIDS
I love my jr. Vince so this is amazing this is a this is a KitKat I would go
out of my way to have again in the future
and next up it looks like we have another dark KitKat yeah this one said
Coco ah so I imagine that's gonna be dark chocolate every I'm darker than the
last one darker oh my gosh check out that wow this reminds me of
dark European chocolate it's sweeter than typical dark chocolate yeah more
sugar I was expecting it to be really bitter yeah it's not mmm this one
doesn't have is its distinctive a taste if you were just to hand this one to me
up it may not even guess the flavor that well I like the dark chocolate with mint
better I think the combination of the two flavors yeah no it's good that one
was like a little bit nondescript I didn't have a strong opinion on it to be
honest alright now here's a really interesting one
this is coal I'm as a cave is that correct okay so I read that this one is
a sweet rice a drink per minute to moisture I mentioned rice drink and that
you neither have no alcohol or very low alcohol content it appears that it has a
white chocolate all right you look at that hmm oh I do I do have the there's
that subtle subtle taste of fermented this that makes it has a nice smell
I love that one it's really sweet too it's got a subtle bit of sourness
but it's overwhelmingly sweet I actually quite like this one
thank you late again floral floral yeah yeah it is a very creamy one now that
you mention it yeah we're down to the final four
yeah this one it's the one that I think it's gonna do Oh what sobbing come on
Bobby oh my god in case you've never had what soggy before no I'm sure you have
you have two times with Bobby well you gotta see you've had this off
the end it comes in like it's light green yeah dark let's just I'm kind of
scared because we saw me even like the smallest amount can like just set here
it doesn't think your mouth on fire it like so my sign is on fire everything in
your head yeah does smell like wasabi okay at first I wasn't getting it the
flavor but the more I chew in time I am its boy it's it's not does it make you
want to gag like eating too much wasabi would in real life but you certainly get
that kind of aftertaste the more you chew into it but has so much sugar yeah
as so much sugar that it does mask the the typical flavor of wasabi normally
wasabi is not sweet of course so it's just okay I can taste the wasabi but
this is something that I associate with like rice and salmon yeah like what
sushi you know it just doesn't feel right that white chocolate tastes like
wasabi this may be the first one that I don't finish in its entirety yeah I've
had a lot of suck it up flavored ice creams like soft serve ice creams all
I've been here and those have been good so I feel like I could enjoy it it's
kind of tan-colored I smell the soy powder the soybean powder more I'm
definitely tasting the soybean powder that's a predominant smell you know at
first I didn't think it was as sweet as the others but now that I've been like
eating it for a while it's definitely sweet right I caught it I kind of liked
that one I would I might have that again I like it too but I find white chocolate
it's like during the mocha chocolate so yes you
know what I'm just gonna start eating half of me I feel like I just can't
oh yeah ii lost okay look at the polar bear well good on the package it looked
like vanilla ice cream with two Oreo cookies on the side so maybe it's like a
chocolate chip ice cream oh yeah definitely Memorial look it has it looks
like it has the Oreo bits on it here you go
let's try that one this is what it looks like one more time guys it's more like
chocolate I wish they had warm milk chocolate oh I like that one
oh no no I like it home at all no there's actually a KitKat flavor at
wereld some butter and we tried finding it we couldn't but I feel like I just
gotta taste it you just got your you got the buttery
one oh you guys lost but not these definitely have to bought it in like
that one last but not least this is the one day probably the most exciting you
guys show the box can you reach over grab the box it was a
fancy box yeah this one that game this one cost more than the other bags and
yeah it was such a fancy play this is a gift to that you take back home so guys
the premium one yeah at the end this is the japanese alcoholic beverage try sake
we've been in japan how long I've had sake quite a few times outside of Japan
whoo oh yeah perfume it does that's really sweet it's very sweet it also has
a hint of sourness like the other one but it's even more
sour than then that other one that was faced after fermented rice drink you
don't like that one I like the smell of it again more white chocolate yeah it's
just the white chocolate is just too sugary for me I can't do it but I like
the smell of it let me like the taste of it but I feel like one nibble is enough
hmm all right guys so we've tried all eleven what we're gonna do now is rank
them from first to last action will start from last from last to our most
favorite and I'm sure that they will different let's see what happens going
first you can okay I'm ready to rank mine I've arranged them so surprisingly
I enjoyed the first ones as long as I had at the beginning the most so drink
tea would be right at the top followed by the purple sweet potato because I
felt like those were subtle flavors and it was just enough just a hint all I
needed it then my next cute would be the dark chocolate with mint and the dark
chocolate on its own just because it turns out and either a milk chocolate or
dark chocolate kind of girl I did not actually try these first four you would
go out of your way do you have yes how many I will connect the next set where
they would need to be more like just average okay so right in the middle I've
got like five of them it's mostly like pink packaging yeah and it's basically
like the strawberry ice cream the raspberry yeah suck it on its top game
and this amazake these are all too sweet for me just Oh they smelled nice they
smelled floral but it was a bit much as for least favorite I would say the
wasabi just because I did not associate that flavor like that scent with
chocolate with dessert so I just kept thinking where's my sushi and the last
one was really what I hated right the one that tasted like daughter that's
what I like yeah that's all I put in the front so Kit Kats here in Japan that's
interesting now it's my turn okay guys time for me to make my Kit Kats from
first to last so I love the min one I should come as no surprise I do love my
mint chocolate so that's number one number two was the purple yam so we both
really like this a lot it's good so I think if we were if we were to go and
get a package together we might get this one I like these these other ones as
well the they kind of had Oh lots of what was this one those are ones that -
ice cream ones that like the draw berry ice cream and the one that the chocolate
tasted like butter I made a mistake the strawberry is going down here I like the
one that tastes like butter the one that you didn't like oh okay now these other
specialty ones like green tea the wasabi the other ones the ones that were like
the ones that were flavored like sake and the other alcohol and soybean these
were just average for me I I didn't wind them didn't love them I'd have them
again but I wouldn't go out of my way no these locks these locks three are ones
that I wouldn't have liked this was just this didn't taste distinct to me so it's
not a winner and these ones that tasted like strawberry and raspberry I found
they were to artificially flavored I actually would have loved it all again
even if someone gave them to me I would recap them to this I don't like it but
maybe someone else maybe someone else exactly but yeah I hope you guys enjoyed
getting to see some of these weird KitKat flavors that you can only find in
Japan yeah um if you come here like there's several places where you can
pick them up yo cheapest is either a donkey Colton which is a discount store
or just like little convenience stores yeah a little convenience stores you
actually for you convenience stores that kind of specialize in candy and treats
and that's also really picked up the bags the bags are cheaper than the boxes
yeah but they're more easy the bags are flavors that are easier to find and ones
that come in specialty boxes are are more rare and they tend to be a bit
more expensive and aside from that another place where you can find KitKat
is at the KitKat store like there's a KitKat chocolate shop there's one at the
Tokyo train station and there's a fee scattered around the city you can also
buy them at the airport before you go oh yeah if you're looking for a strange
souvenir these strange flavor does a KitKat are certainly an option so I hope
you guys enjoyed this Japanese KitKat taste test we had a lot of fun trying
all these and we'll see you from Tokyo Japan with more food and travel videos
coming soon
