I'm just after finishing my mock Leaving Cert exams and I had to say goodbye to one of my lovely Japanese subs, Ueno せんせい, last Tuesday. As a going away gift, she gave us all green tea flavoured kit-kats.
I hadn't a notion of what it meant until I decided to research the kit-kats online! So in Japan, you give kit-kats to students doing university entrance exams, the Japanese equivalent of the Leaving Certificate. The kit-kats are pronounced きっとかつ in Japanese, which is also Japanese for good luck!
In Japan, they have many unusual flavours of Kit-Kats, including green tea, strawberry cake, white chocolate and blueberry. Isn't that way more interesting than just plain milk chocolate? Maybe someday when I go to Japan, I'll just buy all the different kit-kat flavours. おいしいです！
