Caramel Pudding Kit Kat

During our Halloween lesson at school, I managed to get my students to taste test Caramel Pudding Kit Kat. Now, this particular flavor is one of my personal favorites. As a matter of fact, I came across it last winter in a 7-11. The thing about this Kit Kit, like many of the flavors I've tried so far, is that it is seasonal--you can only find them in the fall. So by the winter time, all that was left were a few scragglers. I remember Marlow and I tried it, and really liked it, but when I went back to get more, there were none left. Since then, I've searched for them, until I found them about a month ago--yep, they were released again for the fall. Seeing as the packaging had Halloween decor, I thought it would be fitting to use this flavor for a Halloween taste test, and here you have it:

Halloween

Halloween in Japan isn't quite the extravaganza it is in the US, but it's slowly gaining popularity. I would think it impossible that kids, no matter where they're from, could resist dressing up in costumes and getting candy. At school we teachers are required to wear Halloween costumes, and most, if not all of the kids, usually dress up and have a great time. But outside of school(and the club district) you will be hard-pressed to find anyone else wearing Halloween costumes as it just isn't really that popular here...yet. Though the Halloween sections of those select stores with Halloween sections are typically small, they have grown a bit since last year. As for the future of Halloween's popularity in Japan, we'll just have to see. But this year I had a great time with my kids.

Miso Kit Kat

For our friend Nana's birthday we went to a Mongolian themed restaurant in Shin Sakae. We had a great time, and the food was really good too! While we were there we tasted Miso Kit Kat, but not before being taken aside by restaurant staff and dressed up in Mongolian costumes. Check out the video:
