\"\"<\/a>Nestle Japan makes innumerable regional variations of the Kit Kat chocolate-covered biscuit candy, usually borrowing the flavor of the coating from the local specialty food, whether that be strawberry, green tea, melon, wasabi, sweet potato, or even soy sauce! While killing time at the airport before my return flight, I saw some boring flavors that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve had before or are available at Don Quijote on Kaheka, then I saw these. From the get-go, the katakana \u00e2\u20ac\u0153otona\u00e2\u20ac\u009d for \u00e2\u20ac\u0153adult\u00e2\u20ac\u009d caught my eye. Adult? What, is it like naughty or something? I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t read the kanji, though it seemed vaguely familiar. The package was dark, and the images of the candy seemed darker than the usual milk chocolate, so I figured what they meant by \u00e2\u20ac\u0153adult\u00e2\u20ac\u009d was these were a less-sweet dark chocolate version. I threw them in my Kifaru after buying them and forgot about them until a couple days ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I already gave some away, but finally got to try one today. It is dark chocolate. Compared to the non-chocolate Kit Kat flavors, this is easily superior. This is not only because real chocolate is better than any flavored white chocolate: This is actually reasonably good dark chocolate. This isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t like the hard, waxy chocolate in Black Crunky or Black Thunder. The biscuit is the same as usual, though the overall size of Japanese promotional or bagged Kit Kat is like a third smaller than the individual retail size \u00e2\u20ac\u201c it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153fun size\u00e2\u20ac\u009d sold at Halloween. I guess that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the whole \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nestle\u00e2\u20ac\u009d part rearing its head: The Swiss gnomes won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t tolerate mediocre chocolate.<\/p>\n

Oh, and they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re not naughty.<\/p>\n

Recommended<\/p>\n

Three out of four fun sized monkeys<\/p>\n

I think the bag of 13 mini bars was like 525-yen<\/p>\n
