Hi foodies,
When there is no one to cheer you up, you cheer yourself up!
One of the MUST get when you are in Japan is their Kit Kat. There are as many as 200 types of Nestle Kit Kat flavors. From dark chocolates, strawberry cheese cake, tofu, miso, wasabi , soya sauce and even the cake flavor which you have to heat up. Don’t get the wasabi unless you are up for a challenge. XD
It is a great souvenir since you can't get it from other countries.

So, basically there was only that usual milk chocolate Kit Kat until I got this green tea kit kat. Of course I was really curious about it even if it is more expensive than the normal ones. The packaging is the same as the one from Japan just that it has other languages on it. At least we can read it!

It has mild green tea taste. It is sweet to me but everyone threshold of sweetness is different. Anyhow, if you care about your waist line, then don’t eat more than one mini bar per day. Treat it as some sort of 'treats' that you can have once in a while. It is good to share it with another person. It is nice and if you love green tea, this will be probably one of the flavors that you should get when you are in Japan. XP Better than those ‘cute looking banana cake’ which does not taste good to me.
One serving contains:
7.6g sugar
1.1g protein
5.6 fat
16mg sodium
9.7g cabohydrate
So, it is not advisable to eat more than 1 mini bar per day because you can easily go over your daily intake of 60g of sugar daily. Besides, eating too much process food with high sugar content causes diabetes in long run, you will also have bad skin(acne) and pot belly appearing. After all, sugar is Number 1 killer for skin.
I think by the time I wrote this, other Asian countries probably already have this in their stores. Also, I have been thinking about it the whole day and by the time I came home, tired and unhappy, I was made even angrier because someone ate all the green tea Kit Kat I have been thinking all day.
