Mixed Juice Flavored Kit Kat Bar (only in Japan)

Tasting Notes
Appearance: Like a glow-in-the-dark Velveeta cheese; 
Nose: Fruity bouquet; 
Palate: Carrot juice and cream sandwich cookies; 
Finish: Orthodontic grade tooth paste


While America and England (the birthplace of the Kit Kat) offer a paltry 4 or 5 varieties of the Kit Kat bar, Nestle's Japan boasts a range of Kit Kats that fuses the entire global dietary spectrum. I have vowed to try them all on an epicurean journey that has taken me to the very bowels of the Japanese confectionery industry. Come along for the ride as I cruise the platforms of subway stations across the land in search of vending machines offering up the most exotic delights for anyone willing to pay the price.
