キットカット – Limited Time Japanese Kit Kats for Early Spring

There are several different limited time Japanese Kit Kats. These flavors are mostly spring flavors you would have in the spring.

桜餅味：Sakura Mochi

Sakura mochi is pink mochi or rice cake. It has anko which is red bean paste in the center and is wrapped in a cherry blossom leaf. This Sakura mochi flavored Kit Kat mixes the two tastes of the anko and sakura leaf together.

桜日本酒：Sakura Nihon-shu

This Kit Kat is made with 0.07% Nihon-shu which is a rice-based alcohol in Japan. Also, it has Sakura leaves in it like the Sakura Mochi flavor. Which is why they called this Kit Kat Sakura Nihon-shu.

イースターバナナ：Easter Banana

Nestle made this Kit Kat for Easter. They made it by mixing banana into the chocolate.

ゆず抹茶：Yuzu Matcha

Yuzu is a type of Japanese citrus fruit which is one of Japan’s summer fruits. Matcha is powdered green tea. Matcha is a popular flavor in Japan. In a previous blog on Kit Kats in Japan, I talked about two other Matcha flavors.
