"sakura"

Did you know that in Japan they make all sorts of flavored kit-kats? What usually happens is that a new flavor is released for only a short period of time and then phased out with something new and different. A few of my friends totally fall for this gimmick, going nuts whenever a new flavor is released. I too, have been sucked into the Japanese commercialism of kit-kats, feeling the urge to buy and try even though I never once had a kit-kat craving in the United States. Some of the flavors I have tried are strawberry, passion fruit, mint, apple, wine, white chocolate and maple syrup, yogurt, banana and blueberry.

Once in awhile they'll come out with some extreme Japanese versions, that everyone seems to loathe except for myself. Like the green tea kit-kat. Now that was yummy! This season's newest edition is also obviously Japanese. It is sakura, or cherry blossom flavor, which is pictured above. All of my kit-kat fiend friends have stayed clear, but even after numerous warnings I decided to finally give it a try yesterday.

Well, all I can say is don't mock the sakura until you try it. It is seriously one of the best to come yet!
