Japan おかし: 10 KitKats only found in Japan

KitKat is a well known snack in many countries. With it's iconic crispy wafer inside and milk chocolate coating, just thinking about KitKats makes me salivate (I've said it once and I'll say it again, I have a chocolate problem).

Japan, on the other hand, has taken the KitKat and completely reinvented it about a gazillion times over. Using unique flavours and colours, Japan has definitely created some one-of-a-kind KitKats.

Here is a list of 10 KitKat flavours only found in Japan!

That's a nice set of melons!: Yubari melon pair sells for 1.5 million yen

Fruit is a bit pricier in Japan than elsewhere in the world, but the Japanese Yubari melon really takes the cake on most expensive fruit.

The expensive and prestigious Yubari melon.

Treats, treats, I love me some treats!

Mix Mochi (rice cake), Kinako (roasted soybean powder), and Kuro-mitsu (dark sugar syrup) together and what do you get?

Shingen Mochi!

Not to be confused with ningen mochi, which... is a terrifying thought. Moving along...

So many things... time to get busy!

Hello everyone! I'm not even sure where to start with this blog, as so much has happened so far and continues to happen every day.

Perhaps a slight introduction and overview are in order.

My name is Amy, but my family sometimes calls me Amoo. I currently live in Tokyo Japan with my fiancee, Ryan and our cat, Jack. This blog will be covering our every day (and not so every day) adventures. I also hope to use it as a reference or anecdotal evidence for those who are also looking to expat across the world to Japan.

Some things you will be able to find here in due time:

• Japanese Language Resources
• How to's regarding transferring your life overseas (including your cat!)
• Japanese culture and lifestyle
• Random and weird foodstuffs
• Japan oriented links, apps, groups, etc
• Gratuitous amounts of photos of Jack (of course!)

  I am extremely excited to start on this project and hope that you will follow along with me for the ride! I would also love to hear any questions or comments anyone may have about learning Japanese, life in Japan, or even about Jack and his latest nap.

So bear with me for a while whilst I get things in motion. Chill out, eat a senbei, watch a J-drama, do what you do, and we'll see you soon!
