Jesus wept, Nestle Japan! Can you slow down for just one second?! No sooner am I over the delights of Royal Milk Tea Kit Kat and the shock of seeing Sports Drink Kit Kat back in the shops than:
Ginger Ale Kit Kat! Do I need to review it? It smells a little like Canada Dry and it tastes like tangy white chocolate. There is a faint ginger aftertaste that's quite impressive, but really if you served me this and the Apple Vinegar Kit Kat I saw a while ago on a silver platter, I don't know that I could accurately identify which was which.
Christ. I love their... verve.
While back in Mother Engerland one of the things that tickled people was hearing about the crazy-balls flavours of Kit Kat they have here (Sports Drink, Apple Vinegar, Sweet Potato etc.) While many products go out of their way to try variant packaging and limited time flavours (someone once told me that it's a commercial fact that Japanese consumers will always buy more of a new, limited flavour, something that I've often seen for myself), I really feel that Nestle Japan are constantly striving to evolve the Kit Kat into some kind of future-space-food where any meal can be created with four sticks of chocolate and wafer.
And I come back to Japan to find that they've paid tribute to my trip home!
My review - again, smell is probably the easy bit, so it certainly smells like Royal Milk Tea. Strange to say that I've eaten sweets and breaded products with a Royal Milk Tea flavour before in Japan too, so the flavour wasn't really that much of a surprise for me, and it wasn't that nice either. Like white chocolate with a faint aftertaste of tea... I won't be picking up another pack.
