Ground Red Pepper Flavored Kit Kat
Japanese text: 根元 八幡屋磯五郎 一味 大辛Still the same chocolatey goodness but with a HOT filling that will definitely linger in your tongue. The chocolate will cancel a bit of the spiciness, so you don’t need to have water prepared. Burning in your throat will be felt afterward. Definitely the most surprising kit kat of them all. (Well next to soy sauce.)
The leftside text means Original Yawataya Isogorou which is a brand that manufactures spices and condiments since the Edo era. They are one of the top makers of spices in Japan.
The rightside text gives the flavor (and also the product name or the name of the spice). It means very spicy, one flavor. One flavor spice means it’s a mixture (if you’d call it that) with only one ingredient, the red pepper. You can view the product page here.
In Japan, they produce the seven flavor spice or shichimi which is a mixture of seven spices. The brand is very known for its shichimi. It may also be the reason why they call the red pepper spice mixture, the one flavor spice. Heh.
This Kit Kat flavor can only be found in Nagano where the brand is based.
