It's a very important part of our trip: we're going Kitkat hunting!
As you know, I love Japanese Kitkats
When I first heard about them,
I thought you could go into a shop
And there'd be a huge choice of flavours
Just laid out on the shelves
Then I heard there's only a couple of places where you can get more than one flavour
The truth is they are seasonal and regional
But if you keep your eyes open
You can spot a good number of flavours just as you're going around
So let's go Kitkat hunting!
Convenience stores are full of treasures
Including Kitkats!
Don Quijote sells pretty much everything
Lots of crazy gadgets, costumes, and... Kitkats!
Google Translate says this flavour is "Sweetness of adults"
I think it looks like dark chocolate
You can fold the box into a desk tidy that looks like a train!
So in Tokyo Station
There's Sweets Street, Character Street and Ramen Street
Which are all small shopping malls
In the basement somewhere
In Sweets Street there's a shop that sells lots of different flavours of Kitkats
There's also the Kitkat Chocolatory
The official Kitkat shop
We're looking for "First Avenue"
Okashi Land - that's Sweets Street
I didn't find the Kitkat shop in Sweets Street
But there's lots of good stuff down there
Including Giant Rainbow Pocky!
Look, we found the Kitkat shop!
Wow...
It's the history of Kitkats!
A Kitkat chandelier!
There's lots of fancy Kitkats in exclusive flavours
Only 20 items per person
I Love Fruits - Only in Tokyo!
That looks nice
Let's get one.
This is The Daiba gift shop in Diver City mall in Odaiba
They stock several flavours of Japanese Kitkats
As well as Giant Rainbow Pocky
And lots of really unusual sweets and gifts
Flavoured Kitkats!
Strawberry cheesecake
Just found some more flavoured Kitkats a few shops down
Still in Diver City mall
This shop is called "Supermarket... something!"
More Kitkats spotted!
In the Family section of Venus Fort
We've got Uji Matcha
Strawberry cheesecake
And rum raisin
The shop is called "Watch"
We've found some Kitkats in this shop, it's called "Gift Shop the Akiba"
And it's right outside Akiba Station
We found some special limited edition summer Oreo cookies and cream Kitkats
As well as green tea
Bakeable cheesecake
And raspberry Kitkats inside
Cookies and cream is a special edition for the summer
That you keep in the fridge
To me it tasted like milk and Oreo cookies
Really good!
Look at these cute characters on the pack!
They also has blueberry ice cream Aeros
Spotted in the backstreets of Shinjuku
At this shop called "Okashi no machiyoka"
There's normal Kitkats, dark Kitkats,
Uji matcha Kitkats
And bakeable Kitkats
Looks like they're just closing!
On to Haneda Airport
Where I saw this Hello Kitty plane
And landed on a Kitkat goldmine
Including my number one favourite, sakura matcha
In each of these boxes you get 10 Kitkats
