We LOVE checking out all of the Kit Kats available in EPCOT’s Japan Pavilion! Sometimes we come across some super unique flavors!
Mitsukoshi has walls and walls of snacks!
Mitsukoshi is the place to find all kinds of Japanese snacks and candy right in the World Showcase. In fact, it can be a little overwhelming to take in everything at once. One thing’s for sure: the store has a history of featuring Kit Kat flavors that we haven’t seen before! We tried out a new one, and we’re here to let you know if it was hit or miss!
Previously, we’ve reviewed some other fun Kit Kat flavors, like Strawberry and Ocean Salt! This time, we got our hands on the Roasted Green Tea flavor.
Hmm… We weren’t sure what to expect!
Honestly, the brown color of the bag isn’t all that eye-catching compared to some of the previous cute packaging we’ve seen. But we didn’t judge a book by its cover!
Break me!
As for the flavor, we weren’t super impressed. It tasted like a burnt, smoky tea, but in chocolate form. Honestly, not our favorite, but if you like tea or coffee, you might like this treat. We also took a look at the ingredients and noticed something a little unfamiliar: tofu refuse. We weren’t sure what that was, but after some research learned it is basically just powdered soybeans!
Speckles of Roasted Green Tea
So unfortunately, the Roasted Green Tea flavor was not our favorite Kit Kat flavor we’ve had, but you might like it depending on your tastes! Maybe the smoky tea flavor will appeal to you, but it didn’t do it for us. We will keep an eye out for more flavors and hope that we get another good one soon!

You can get variety bags of Japanese kit kats on amazon. Apparently the reason they are so popular in Japan is that “Kit Kat” sounds like the Japanese phrase for “good luck on your exams”, so it became a tradition to give them to students taking serious exams. I think there are over 60 different flavors. My favorite is pomegranate. My least favorite is matcha, but that’s a me thing because I don’t care for matcha.
Hojicha is one of my favorite flavors! You can get it as a soft serve flavor sometimes too. It’s definitely roasted tea which I prefer over matcha, but it’s not everyone’s taste if you haven’t been exposed to it a lot.
Sounds/looks like genmaicha (a green tea with roasted brown rice). It’s popular in Japan and some other Asian countries. It has a smokey flavor from the rice. I love the flavor. Never had the kitkat version though. I’d love to find it!
