Japanese Citrus Kit Kat

Our goal at World of Snacks is to become the largest one-stop shop for international snacks.  We spent our first year in business trekking through 34 different countries to locate the very best snacks in the world.  Now in our second year of business, we have created our online international snack store.  In January we started with snacks from England and each month this year we have and will continue to expand our inventory by one new country.  Last month we added Japanese Snacks, or to be more precise Kit Kats from Japan.  Instantly they’ve become a hit, so we are expanding to include all the rare an exotic flavors we can find.  Tonight our review is of our newest addition to our Japanese Kit Kat store.  Let’s take a look at the limited edition Japanese Citrus Kit Kat, or more formally the Kankitsu Ogon Blend.

Chances are you are not able to translate Japanese.  Well, they were kind of enough to translate right on the box.  Kankitsu Ogon Blend translates into English as Citrus Golden Blend Flavor.  Our sample comes in a very high-end box that contains 12 individually wrapped mini Kit Kat chocolate bars.  The cover of the box features the Nestle Kit Kat logo (not Hershey as in the US) and in addition to a ton of Japanese writing it shows images of a slide orange, lemon, and lime.  The individually wrapped mini Kit Kat bars are packaged to reflect the box. Overall we think the Japanese Citrus Blend Kit Kats look pretty classy.  Let’s taste them and see if they really are classy… or at least delicious!

Buy This Snack

Our test panel was small tonight.  It was the World of Snacks co-founder and myself.  This Japanese Snack is very pricey and pretty hard to find, so we decided to hoard these foreign Kit Kats to ourselves.  Although our test group was small, we both have been present for nearly all our snack reviews.  So when we say the Japanese Citrus Kit Kat is one of our favorite chocolate bars from anywhere in the world, that really says a lot!  Holy cow, it’s rare that we both are overwhelmed by the awesomeness of a snack.  The first bite is jammed packed with a citrus punch, and quickly following the creamy milk white chocolate swoops in and rounds it all out.  We didn’t even mention the trademark crunch of Kit Kat, but it was there too to increase our snacking pleasure.   The Japanese Citrus Kit Kat is nearly the perfect snack.

If you are one of our thousands of snack blog followers you know we tend to close with a determination if we will stock this snack or not in our online snack shop. Well, this one just arrived and if you want to try it (which you better) we have a few offered for sale.  This is a very rare limited edition Kit Kat imported from Japan.  So if white chocolate citrus sounds enticing got you, order  the Citrus Golden Blend Kit Kat online now!  If you’d like to be notified of our progress as we expand our store be sure to leave your details to the right.  Keep on snacking world!
