Kit Kat Okinawa Beni Imo KitKat: There are a few different form factors for KitKats here in Japan beyond the breakable sticks, along with a never-ending stream of seasonal flavors. This special edition KitKat came in a resealable pouch with a flavor inspired by Japanese Beni Imo sweet potato from Okinawa. I haven't had the chance to try it, but apparently there is a very famous Beni Imo tart featuring a swirling mound of sweet potato creme (pictured on the packaging). The Kit Kats come in bite-sized cubes and have a thicker coating than your traditional bar KitKat. Otherwise, it still has the same familiar crispy wafer on the inside. They were able to capture the flavor of sweet potato in an impressively accurate way, but it definitely still tastes like candy / dessert. 3.5/5.0
