Kit Kat should be more selective instead of churning one flavor after another. I've finding more mediocre flavors in recent years. About 10 years ago, most every gotouchi Kit Kat I had was good. I remember having jasmine tea, cappucino/espresso, Itokyuemon edition maccha one... all very good. Now a lot more misses than hits. They still sell the Itokyuemon one in Kyoto, but I find it hard to believe it's made the same as before. Unless the one I had before was different. Now tastes a lot blander and sweeter than I remember. I've not really been wowed by any Kit Kat recently.
