I have to confess I have no idea how it compares with normal white KitKat, because I never tried them, but this new (limited edition?) of Hokkaido Milk White KitKat is not bad at all. Overly sweet, but that is to be expected with white chocolate in general, they apparently added some extra creamy goodness, Hokkaido milk that is. Considering the packaging and the theme, it’s kinda sad that it came too late for White Day, but who does really care? Oh, and there is milk chocolate inside, which softens the sweetness of the white chocolate and goes really well with bitter coffee.

Note: Hokkaido is the big northern island of Japan where winter is very harsh and summer nice and mild, and it is well known in Japan for its milk (and dairy products) and its potatoes.

If you are really desperate to try it, someone (NOT related to 3Yen) is selling some on ebay, or you can leave a message in the comments and we might send you one… :)

Edit: Is it “KitKat” or “Kit Kat”? The logo looks more like “KitKat” to me, but apparently, the official Kit Kat Japan website spells it “Kit Kat”. mmm…
