Curious Food Discoveries in Japan

Wow! KitKat with sweet red azuki bean flavor. (Actually I love it in Japanese treats, but not so much in a KitKat!) They also sell apple flavor KitKats too. (Nagano prefecture is well known for apples.)


Banana Soda flavored Fanta was too unusual to pass up, but finding Cherry Coke was an unexpected blessing! A 7-11 on the way to Nagano city had them, so we bought 6 to save for later!

We got a Winnie the Pooh cereal for Olivia "Puu-san no Hachimitsu Daisuki", but laughed when it was dwarfed by the American sized "Froot Loops" we had received from a friend!

Hey! I've tried the red bean Kit Kat. It was surprisingly less-bad-tasting than I had anticipated, but still not my favorite. I wish I'd tried the apple one when I was up there in September..maybe I'll just have to come back! And have you tried the pumpkin one? I think it was special for Halloween...and I don't really recommend it. I usually love pumpking anything (i.e. Einstein's pumpkin bagels and pumpkin shmear) but the pumpkin Kit Kat is NOT oishii. I wonder what other flavors there are??
