Kit Kats in Japan

My neighbor Jennifer, whom I also team teach with, writes a blog about Kit Kats in Japan. I'm sure you've seen all the crazy flavors that and appear and then disappear in combinis before you have worked up the nerve to buy them. Worry no more. Jennifer buys and tries 'em so you don't have to. She documents her finding at Jen Ken's Kit Kat Blog.


Justification for posting this on Good Beer Country Boys: Like craft beer, Kit Kats are an
American perfection that is now being experimented on in Japan. Also, Jennifer went to college in Kentucky, even though she is from Ohio. Ohio has Great Lakes Brewing and Bryan Baird says he is from there. Finally, Jennifer doesn't drink alot of beer, but she likes the White Trash Ale that Miyuki and I homebrew. Japan.

In the Uk, kitkats were owned by ronwtree, before nestle came along. I always thought they were a British sweet. Are u sure they are American?

Chuwy....what you mean to say is that they were started in the UK and perfected in America. Of course!

You're right, they were invented in England, but it was Hershey up in Pennsylvania that made them badass.

The general store just southwest of the Shimo-Kitazawa train station has a ¥100 section. In May, I found a few of the odd varieties of KitKat there 2|¥100.
