Kitkat: Kinako-ohagi

(From last November...)
Japanese style Kitkat. Kinako is soybean flour. Ohagi is a rice-base desert. I don't think I've ever had ohagi, but I've tried kinako from other treats. This Kitkat does smell like kinako (smells like rice). Althought it says kinako flavoring is used, real kinako is on the ingredient list. The taste is well matched with chocolate. The best part is, it's not too sweet. The ohagi-ness is achieved with sticky rice puff. This gives the wafer a more grainy texture than regular Kitkat. Even a little sandy. But I don't really mind. This combination works. It's doesn't say if it's a limited edition, but there's no way this is a regular.
