Week of KitKats: Monday – Brown Sugar KitKat?
The first of the KitKats that accompanied Luke from La Fuji Mama. Now, I don’t speak any Japanese. I can manage a few spoken words – thank you and sorry are pretty much it – from my holiday there a few years ago, but written, no chance.
So. I’m going by the pictures on the wrapper.
And the inside of the KitKat:
The inside is no help. It looks like a regular KitKat. Back to the picture on the wrapper then. It looks like big lumps of dark brown sugar.
And that’s just what it tastes like. Really, really like a big mouthful of dark brown sugar.
It’s not unpleasant, well, not to someone who loves sugar as much as I do. I’m not sure I could manage more than a mini one though. I also have to marvel at the imagination that created it. “What this sugary chocolate-wafer confection really needs is the flavour of sugar!”
Verdict: 6/10. Tasty, but a little too sweet.
*shudders*
Kind of like Linus (from the Peanuts comic strip) eating “sugar lumps with honey.”

Have fun with the Kit Kats. When Fuji Mama was my SP, we received Cherry Blossom (strong cherry flavor) and Green Tea (a little odd to see green KitKats). Unfortunately, the photos never saw the light of blog.

Oh man, I love that idea. God bless the Japanese.

This one translates to say it is flavored with black sugar! So even stronger than regular brown sugar. I’m glad you are having fun with them!
