Omiyage: Kyushu

So some of the regional KitKats have changed it would appear. My friend got this one from one of his music students who went to Kyushu. I had gotten the Kyushu flavors before, or so I had thought. The Yuzu and Pepper one is no more. Now there's a strawberry one called "Amaou Strawberry". Apparently these are some huge strawberries that are famous in Kyushu. Anyway, my friend sweetly gave me some AND the box so that I could take a picture and post it on here. People are the greatest sometimes.

As for the KitKat, it's another strawberry one. So, it's tastes as one would expect, I think. If I had known that there was going to be so many different strawberry flavors, I would have saved one of each for one big taste test. But alas...

Omiyage Flavors #2

Okinawan Box?
Kyushu Box?

One of my roommates occasionally goes on business trips to other parts of Japan. If there's some KitKat there that I haven't had yet, she's super sweet and brings me back some. When she went to Okinawa she got me Purple Sweet Potato KitKats (紅いも). I had gotten some from her when she went to Kyushu earlier in the year. But the box is different. I don't know if they changed it during the year or if it's the Okinawan package.
 

Speaking of the Kyushu omiyage, she also brought me Yuzu and Pepper KitKats (柚子こしょう) that time. It wasn't particularly delicious. I like this flavor in chips but not chocolate.
