When in Japan...

Okinawa has given us the opportunity to expand our food horizons. The variety of snacks, sweets and beverages that are available here makes it impossible to stay with "the same old thing". But even when we try something new it is never around for long so we have learned to savor each experience as if it is our last.

Kit Kats are a great example. I don't know if I mentioned before that Kit Kats are EXTREMELY popular here. It has something to do with a japanese phrase that sounds like Kitta Katta which means Good Job, or Way to go. There are your standard kit kats everywhere, in mini size, regular and large. But Nestle (responsible for Kit Kats here in Asia) has found that offering limited edition Kit Kats boosts sales even more. Since arriving her we have tried Berry, Carmel Machiatto (also a featured McFlurry flavor), Watermelon Salt, and Flan flavored kit kats. But this past weekend we tried a sweet bean kit kat.

It was suprisingly good! As was the Pepsi we bought at the same time. I am not normally a Pepsi person but I couldn't pass up trying Yogurt Pepsi! It wasn't bad...for a Pepsi.

Wow, I can't imagine the fun foods you are finding there, foodie. The yogurt Pepsi has me very intrigued.
