Why I didn't rush out an immediately buy these, I did pick some up yesterday while I was at the コンビニ but they're not exactly flying off the shelf.
Here's some information about the 日本酒 Kit Kats:
- They are white chocolate.
- They have actual alcohol powder in them (0.8%).
- They are not recommended for children (it says this on the package).
- 日本酒 is what you might call sake.
First, I was overwhelmed by the smell. These smell like actual sake (or that odd guy on the train at 2:15 in the afternoon). They taste like it too (albeit a sweet version of it). So congrats Kit Kat, you did what you set out to do, alcohol chocolate.
Here's a disclaimer. I don't like sake. I ate this for the blog (actually choked down is more like it). I'm not a fan of these. Maybe if you like sake, you'll like these.
(I'm a bit sad that this wasn't #50 on the list.)
