So my boyfriend is a weeaboo faggot, but I love him anyway, which is why I've decided to surprise him with some Japanese Kit Kats.

We both enjoy trying weird or "gross" foods, so I decided to start with the red bean sandwich Kit Kat, purported to be the flavor American palates are least accustomed to. We enjoy red bean paste, but I suspect these will be somewhat different. We will see.

Anyway, I'd like to surprise him with a different flavor every now and then, so I'm turning to my fellow food fanatics for opinions on which flavors are the best, the worst, and the weirdest.

I'd also appreciate pointers on other Japanese candy or treats that would be appreciated by a fan of the culture.

We all know what that makes you.

Also, wasabi is the answer, but only if it is real wasabi and not that knock off shit.

The fat bitch who blows the weeaboo faggot?
You got me, man.

I've been meaning to get some legit wasabi rather than the green horseradish junk. I've never actually had it, but I like spicy stuff, so worth a shot.

I'm no weeb and I hate anime and shit but I enjoy Japanese food. I ordered some green tea kit kats on Amazon and aside from the fact they were melted and deformed they tasted fucking good. I dipped that shit into some peanut butter and gawtdauym holy fuck it was amazing.

I admit I use the term "weeaboo" in reference to him mostly just to get the point across that he has an interest in the culture, and especially in the food. He's really not that bad and isn't obsessed. It pisses him off when I call him a weeb though, so it will continue until one of us destroys the other.

Do the green tea ones have a white chocolate base or is it something else entirely? Most of the reviews I read have good things to say about the flavor, but like you said, this flavor always seems to show up melted and shit. Small price, I suppose.

Weebs are cancer and I rarely eat japanese but like i said i enjoy it.

anyway yes it is white chocolate, and it was melted cause of the heat. Go to an asian grocery store and see if you can buy it there, if not amazon then, i doubt he'll care much if it melted. i just popped mine into the freezer since i like my chocolate frozen anyway (tastes way better)

They don't ship chocolate in the summer IIRC because of the mentioned issues with shit melting, but since summer's almost over it'll be a good time to check it out.

I just went and checked out J-list, thinking I could get this 15 bar variety pack of Kit Kats someone mentioned they sold. Went to the Kit Kat and chocolate page and here were no goddamn Kit Kats.
I had given up on them until I saw your comment. Thank you. Now I know to check back with them in a couple months.

Amazon is where I got mine. A little pricy if you don't find shipping deals, but not terrible considering the stuff is being brought in from Japan.

Man, why is Japanese candy so damn adorable? Would you believe this is a product of the same nation that raped China?

>> No.5745641

Apart from the different flavoured kitkats, you can just go to your local Asian supermarket and get him shit from there. They have a huge selection of candies and snack food.

Asians are the superior candy/snack food creator race.

its targeted to kids. So bright colors and cute shapes are the name of the games. there is also this sub genre of shitty penny candy in japan.

there weak in many areas when it comes to snack foods. The japs can't get cheese flavor correct, anything that claims to be chesse flavored is either mild, or sweet as fuck. Also their spicy flavor is fucking off. The kit-kats are also over rated.

The Kit Kats are more for novelty than anything else. They're cute and interesting. Even in Japan I'm pretty sure their popularity is mostly about the name rather than the flavor.

I live in a city with loads of Asian and international markets, so I was considering this. I love those places and I've never really looked into their candy section.

I was passing through Jasper, BC a few weeks back, and there was a shop selling imported candy, and I ended up buying a bag of Japanese french toast (at least, that's what I think it was, going by the picture) flavored kitkats.

They were better than sex, holy shit.

pocky and that korean knockoff lotte are good sweets too.

and like this guy>>5746803 said, the french toast kitkats are the hot sex of sweets.
