The Olympics may have been and gone but with my package of Japanese Kit Kats and Pocky taking a little while to arrive, I’ve only just been able to review this. Here we have an Olympic themed Kit Kat to coincide with the 2008 Beijing Olympics, also in gold theme of course because the Japanese are such world renowned athletes.

Basically this is just an ordinary milk chocolate Kit Kat but with a palette swap, Kit Kat means “good luck” or something similar in Japan so I guess this all kinda plays off that. In the end though this is just more awesome limited edition stuff that the Japanese get and that us boring British people never do. ;_;

And so inside our lovely little cardboard box are two of these shiny, gold plastic wrappers. Each wrapper is filled with two Kit Kat sticks which are regular size. And just to confirm, they are indeed milk chocolate.

The taste is a little bit different from a British Kit Kat. It’s less creamy and the wafer seems to have a bit of a stronger flavour. It’s nothing THAT noticeable but it’s quite interesting to see how it’s ever so slightly different in Japan. I prefer it to the American version at any rate.
