In Japan, KitKit launches new flavor variants all the time. However, this is the first time I've seen one based on an "exotic" Japanese ingredient.*
This new limited edition product is flavored with kinako, a nutty-tasting powder that's often dusted over sweetened mochi treats or ice cream. It's made from toasted soybeans.
Kinako KitKat will be available in stores starting April 7.
* Not including green tea or matcha since these now frequently appear on menus outside Japan.
