Kit Kats at NRT
Ok, yea my daughter is begging me to bring some home. Last May, I went through security thinking I could grab some boxes in the terminal and several of my go-to’s were closed down. Tax free Akihabara was slammed. So I went home empty-handed.
FF to now, I must secure the cool Kit Kats. Has anyone gone through NRT recently and gotten any? There was also a place across from the currency exchange outside security that used to have them as well, but I skipped it last time (fail).
Any help on the Kit Kat Kwest is appreciated!

Heading to Narita today -- When I was leaving Narita last month and they did have your Kit Kats -- although I don't know what cool is for them lol -- and yes Akihabara can appear to be slammed but usually the line moves quickly - never waited more than 5 minutes.... Recently Akihabara has been increasing their stock and things appear to be returning to normal (I always by the Bunmeido Castella for the crew - it used to be common but for a long time it was hard to find there as they reduced their stock with travel down so much)...

Got 'em at TF Akihabara. Yes, it was quick! The store outside security (Fa So La) that was across from the currency exchange (that is now gone) is shut down. Only place for anything of the sort seems airside.

The ones they had this time around were purple sweet potato, strawberry, some sort of coffee, and matcha.

Gave the Tokyo Banana Kit Kats and a box of Tokyo Banana to my niece and nephews today. My niece was especially excited to get the Kit Kats.

I brought back 5 flavors recently - strawberry, matcha, orange, and cheesecake. I also picked up the Tokyo banana flavor at NRT while walking through. The rest I got at Don Quijote. I thought the orange and cheesecake were the best, but my nephews and nieces really liked the strawberry and banana. The banana definitely has an artificial flavor, but I guess, in a good way? I also saw strawberry cheesecake at Don Quijote. There's supposed to be a Christmas special Kit Kat with Santa Claus shaped candies, but I didn't find those. There's also supposed to be some new flavors - lemon and one with cacao grown in Japan.
