Uji Matcha Latte

2012/12 Ujimatcha Latte

I happened across this bag of KitKats on New Year's Eve. I'm sure that I've had Matcha Latte before, and I think one of the Kyoto Regional KitKats is Uji Matcha. But apparently when you put the two together, chocolate gets involved. Matcha latte + Uji matcha = Uji matcha latte = matcha + chocolate? These little minis had a chocolate bottom and then green tea innards and top coating. It was a pretty nice combination actually. I quite enjoyed all seven petite KitKats.

Sakura Matcha

The December 2011 re-release.

The one I originally had in March 2010

I'm a huge fan of Sakura flavored anything. I can't tell you how much I look forward to spring every year for all the sakura things. This past fall, KitKat had a thing online where people could vote for the flavor they wanted to see released again in December. Sakura Matcha (桜抹茶) won. I was hoping for one I hadn't seen before but I wasn't sad in the least that this one won.
