Conbini Monday Wk11
I went down to the Disney convenience store to check out their supplies for this weeks Conbini Monday. They had a few special Disney goodies as well as the usual great conbini supplies.
First up are some Disney specials produced by Yamazaki:

You can always find a lot of other special flavors depending on the location and season. I hadn't seen this pack of apple yogurt pocky before, and they tasted good.

What strange flavored kit kats have you seen or tasted in Japan? I would love to hear from you in the comments as to what you have experienced. Please leave a note to share. Thanks.

WHAAA~!? Ramune Kit Kats?? That's something I gotta look for to try, lol. I kinda hate Kit Kats here cuz it's so boring, but Japan really makes it more fun to eat them XD

We only get the regular chocolate flavor Kit Kats over here. I think one time they offered a strawberry flavored and white chocolate flavored one on a short time basis. Would really like to try all the unique flavors you have in Japan so jealous:S Also the only pocky flavors they have around here is chocolate or strawberry. $1.99 a box USD. Never see those style of drink containers here either. Looks interesting. Looking at the Disney packages are things you would only find there. Speaking of Disney they had a monorail crash Sunday morning. The opperator of one of the tains were killed. He slammed into the back of another one at the loading dock at Magic Kingdom. The anti crash system was turned off. It was the first time anything like this ever happened.Wish I could be in Japan right now, maybe in the future. Well off to cut the grass and do the weed eater things, before it gets to hot . Have agreat day, wnat to see all the photos you took while in Kyoto. Ja mata ne:D

I've tried pudding, oshiruko, daigakuimo/sweet potato, white and yellow peach kit kats. The pudding ones are by far the best. :)

Both of these were good, but I am probably not going to rush back to get more. :)

Yeah, the vanilla beans *sic* ones were excellent, and I assume that they and the pudding ones probably share more than a few ingredients.

the more flavors the more repeat customers i suppose. the plain chocolate ones do seem a bit boring compared to all the great flavors available in Japan

konbini, please

Sakura or Ume sounds good. The original is always good to go back to
