Japanese Kit Kat Autumn Sweet Potato Flavor

Although winter is just around the corner here in Japan, yesterday, when I was shopping at a drugstore, I came across an autumn flavor of Japanese Kit Kat. 

There are 2 Kit Kat Japan-limited flavors that represent fall, that is, “Aki Imo (秋芋: meaning Autumn Potato)” and “Aki Guri (秋栗: Autumn Chestnut)” and what I encountered this time is the former.

The flavor name of this Kit Kat Mini is Aki Imo, but the picture of the Satsuma Imo sweet potato on the package front is associated with Yakiimo.

Yaki Imo (焼き芋)” is a sweet potato snack often eaten during the autumn-winter season in Japan, roasted with foil in burning fallen leaves in the yard.

Taste

In fact, the flavor of this Kit Kat Mini chocolate reminds me of the taste of Yakiimo I used to eat as a kid.

With actual sweet potato powder contained, the whitish chocolate bar has a very Satsuma Imo flavor. It tasted unique but was quite good.
