Yes, I’ve bought more KitKats, again! There are still a lot of flavours to discover, but this time I’ve chosen: White Peach, Kumamon Ikinari Dango, Banana Easter Break, Strawberry Tiramisu, Freezable Cookies & Cream, Freezable Strawberry Cheesecake & Setouchi Salty Lemon. Find the previous KitKat reviews here.
Nestlé – KitKat White Peach
Price: ± €6,- per pack of 3
This KitKat is made with white chocolate and has an artificial peach flavour to it. It’s sweet, but not overly sweet because the cookie balances out the chocolate. The artificial peach flavour is clearly present, but it wasn’t too strong for my taste.
Nestlé – KitKat Kumamon Ikinari Dango
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
To be honest I bought this KitKat because of the adorable Kumamon! Just like the Kumamon Pocky I’ve reviewed before, purchasing this KitKat helps raise money for the earthquake-damaged Kumamoto region in Japan. There are several Kumamon images you can get on the packaging.
When it comes to the flavour I knew beforehand that this was not going to be my favourite, because I don’t like red bean paste. Although I didn’t like it I can imagine people who like red bean paste would. Aside from the red bean paste, I did also detect a sweet potato flavour, but the red bean paste had a stronger presence.
Nestlé – KitKat Banana Easter Break
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
Does the packaging remind you of something? Maybe the previous Easter KitKat I reviewed? These adorable KitKats have an artificial banana flavour to them. The flavour of the white banana chocolate reminded me of these chocolate puzzles. I definitely liked this one, the chocolate was creamy and the flavours weren’t too strong.
Nestlé – KitKat Strawberry Tiramisu
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
This KitKat mainly tasted like coffee to me and there seemed to be a slight alcoholic flavour to it as well. It also had a very slight strawberry flavour. Although the flavour did remind me a little of Tiramisu, I felt the coffee flavour overpowered the other flavours a bit. I didn’t taste any mascarpone cheese or cocoa powder in this KitKat.
Nestlé – KitKat Freezable Cookies & Cream
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
I keep being amazed at what Nestlé Japan can do, these KitKats can be eaten frozen and as someone with sensitive teeth, I was prepared for the worst. But when I tried them frozen it didn’t even hurt. They were still pretty easy to chew up and the packaging seems to protect them from getting completely frozen. Even after leaving them in the freezer for over a week, they were still the same.
You can also just eat these at room temperature, but I preferred them frozen. These were nice refreshing chocolate snacks, when frozen. Logically the chocolate does get a little harder after freezing, but the wafer was still crunchy. These KitKats tasted a lot like vanilla, they were sweet but not overly sweet. This is a very creamy KitKat, you do taste the ‘cookies’ but there is more ‘cream’ to this KitKat in my opinion.
Nestlé – KitKat Freezable Strawberry Cheesecake
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
Another freezable kind of KitKat, as I said before these didn’t even hurt my sensitive teeth. These KitKats are very creamy, but do have a strawberry flavour to them. They’re sweet, but not super sweet. If you freeze them the chocolate hardens and it becomes more of a refreshing snack.
Nestlé – KitKat Setouchi Salty Lemon
Price: ± €12,- per pack of 12
As soon as I opened the packaging I could smell lemon, it even smelled sort of sour. This matched up well with the flavour. I personally loved it, this KitKat reminded me of Napoleon Sour Lemon Candies. I do usually like sour treats though, so if you don’t then you should probably skip this one. These have a bit of a salty aftertaste too them.
These KitKats were fun to review and this probably won’t be the last time I review Japanese KitKats. I’m getting better at picking flavours I’m more likely to enjoy and I can’t say I hated any of these flavours. If you want to try some out, there are webshops that offer smaller amounts, like one or two KitKats of a flavour instead of a pack of twelve.
Which of these flavours do you want to try? Let me know!
