Yuzu (Japanese Citrus)
Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that is sour and looks like a small grapefruit. It’s not eaten as a fruit (mostly I think) but is used a lot in Japanese dishes as garnish, seasoning or flavor.
That said, it actually was a no-brainer that the Kit Kat guys will eventually use this flavor. I mean they even tried soy sauce, right? So here we are! With this Kit Kat flavor LOL!
The yuzu flavored Kit Kat actually is about the same as the ol’ Kit Kat. Brown chocolate coating with wafer in the middle. However, yuzu cream filling is used instead so you could taste the yuzu when you bite down. The taste is not so strong and not too sour either. Just enough to blend with the chocolate.
Though I haven’t really tasted the yuzu in the chocolate, I can smell it. So I’m not really sure if the chocolate is only chocolate or if the yuzu flavor (in the chocolate) was overpowered by the yuzu cream.
Not familiar with yuzu? If you’ve eaten chocolate with orange, it probably tastes like that only a little less sweet and a little less strong. I’ve eaten Kit Kat orange before and that’s really different from this one. I think you’d really appreciate how they made everything work together with this one.
If you’re curious about yuzu, you can check them out here from our 2nd best friend the Wikipedia (2nd only to Google ^^).

Update: It says in the website that the yuzu used were from Umajimura of the Kochi prefecture (高知県馬路村), a town famous for its yuzu fruits.
