Japanese Kit Kats | Ashens

[@James11111]

3:36 Wait a minute. A Brit that hates tea? Better pack your bags, Ashens. I can hear the queen coming to deport you.

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

+shadowthehh2 Damn ya beat me to the punch on the tea thing. xD I like tea and coffee and wonder if I should ban Ashens from my house for not liking tea. Haha xD I guess he can have the coffee though. xD

[@JRyan56]

+shadowthehh2 I know! That's like an American not liking McDonalds.

[@mcun02]

No, it's like an English person not being bound by stupid stereotypes. I fucking hate tea.

[@houndonthedock390]

+Aoki calm down, it's a joke

[@Snandra66]

+shadowthehh2 God save the fucking queen!

[@anarcho-pingu]

Oh, I love blue riband, blue riband are my favourite!

[@anarcho-pingu]

And for the record I don't like mars bars.

[@terminalfrost3645]

+John Greenhaulgh haha, yea i was going to say this, would actually prefer to eat this because im just not really a fan of mars bars.

[@kuyaleinad4195]

I like blue riband since they're not too sweet and they're not too chewy. So if I had to pick between Blue Riband and a Mars Bar, I'd pick the less chewy ones :P I still like mars bars though but I tend to like less chewier chocolate bars. So, chocolate bars with fudge on them are the worst (Twix are an exception). But I think that everyone agrees that Bounty bars are the worse D:

[@liamfenerty135]

+John Greenhaulgh try time out bars

[@beatricechaves4396]

+Kuya Dan I actually really like bounty bars but my favourites are probably milky ways

[@TheAussieStig30]

Ashens, the most British man on KZbin has been run out of England for not liking tea.

[@misterc.changaking5655]

Motörhead lol

[@therunawaykid6523]

I am also British I don’t like either tea or coffee

[@GarnetDally]

Also British, cannot stand tea… the smell is enough to turn me sick!

[@AWISECROW]

Pleasing to see Ashens eat things he can actually enjoy for once!

[@cocoelacanth]

“TO MOLLY, ENJOY THIS DIFFERENT KIT KAT LOVE FROM OTHER MOLLY”

[@ExplodingJellyfish]

I didn't realize how utterly hilarious this is until I read this comment

[@georgesears934]

Yes I did. It's because the word "Kit Kat" is similar sounding to the Japanese phrase for "Good luck" and Japan as a nation is very keen on its puns.

[@ThatHomestar]

+George Sears thanks gorge sears

[@georgesears934]

+Homestar20845 No problem. Up up and away! (Captain flies away).

[@sorathefox1729]

頑張って/頑張れ sounds nothing like Kit Kat or キットカット..

[@yagihige9412]

+Sora TheFox17 It has to be in plural. Kit Kats turns into Kitto Katsu in japanese, which means "certainly (i'll) win" and thus ended up with students eating kit kat bars before an exam for good luck. This is after the previous superstition, when students would eat katsudon the night before an exam.

[@sorathefox1729]

Weird, cause my friends from Japan call a couple of their bars strictly just Kitto Katto.. and Japanese isn't quite known for having much plural forms of nouns but neverless proper nouns.

[@RJM639]

I wonder what the fate of the Kit Kat Club would have been if the "club" had been spelt with a K.

[@IndirectSoter]

+RJ M Its future would surely be dark...

[@TooManyMoths]

+RJ M Krispy Kreme Klub though.

[@bucketheadkfc]

+RJ M Your joke is funny, but it was spelled "Kit-cat club."

[@XombieLejon66]

+RJ M Probably about as well as the Krusty Komedy Klassic.

[@RabidAstrid]

+XombieLejon66 The what?

[@rebeccatrishel]

Japanese Kit Kats aren't for tourists. People give them to students for good luck around exams. The Japanese pronunciation of Kit Kat sounds a lot like "kitto katsu," which means something like "You will win!" I think that's why they have spaces on them for writing.

[@Aevilbeast]

Well they do make certain flavors available to only certain area's so in a way it does make a good gift for a tourist to buy for someone back home, as an "Omiyage". Which is a kind of tradition where you bring back a gift for your friends and family back home, most of the time it's a locally made item or something that can only be purchased there, like certain flavors of KitKat. Local delicacies or foods are especially popular as Omiyage and usually train stations will have a bunch of locally made or sourced foods that the area is known for, so people can buy them for people back home. So in a way , while what you saying is completely true, he is also right about it being for tourists.

[@skullzies785]

the green tea kit kat bar can be bought anywhere at asian markets

Fun fact in America kit kat is made by hershey every were else it is made by nestle

[@coffeegoblin3887]

+Brown Wolf Poor America...Hershey chocolate is only available in Poundland/dollar stores here....

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

This was due to an agreement made nearly 50 years ago where Rowntree gave Hershey the right to make and sell Kitkat and Rolo for the US market for as long as they're still in business.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

+Captain Picard at least they're around at all it seems

[@kalazajar8293]

Hershey tastes like chocolate and rubber. Thank god the target near me has Cadbury.

[@ChristopherSobieniak]

GallikHD You're lucky, though Cadbury's Dairy Milk sold in the US might be made by Hershey's anyway unless its the imported stuff.

[@Audiodump]

My girlfriend actually brought back a bunch of these from when she visited japan. Apparently some of them are seasonal. I think the green tea and sakura blossom ones are only sold when the trees are actually blossoming.

[@kayvahn2141]

[@PlayMadness]

For anyone wondering about the popularity of Kit Kat in Japan and the message box on the back: "Kit Kat" sounds very similar to the Japanese phrase "kitto katsu," meaning something like "good luck!" Kit Kat bars are traditionally given as small tokens of good luck in Japan, and the message boxes are for writing a name or event.

[@gui18bif]

I wish Portugal did that . I'd love to be handed out random kitkat chocolate

[@Slay1337pl]

The kitkat isn't smaller, it's just further away.

[@theoccasionalbadger8315]

finally, some sense at last

[@HolyKhaaaaan]

It's not smaller, it's just in the background.

[@therunawaykid6523]

Nice father ted reference 😏

[@gui18bif]

This one is small. That one is far away.

[@HolyKhaaaaan]

When Ashens says "Hello!" on his videos it gives me hope that the world is good.

I was expecting wasabi and glow in the dark flavours.

[@Adahop]

It tastes like radiation! :D

[@bernd32]

+Adahop | 3D Printing - Gaming - Tutorials - Giveaways Fukushima-flavoured.

[@SN3AKYfox]

+Joshua J (dragonjdj) I don't know if you're joking but wasabi is actually a real japanese kitkat flavor, i had it during a trip, was actually pretty good, was a combo of white chocolate and wasabi. muchadoaboutlisa.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/kitkat.jpg

[@gabgabgambino8358]

somme kit kat magnum xl

[@cjd29]

Wasabi is a flavor here... It's not very good either. Bleh.

[@magustg1]

The reason the packages all have space to write is because "kit kat" pronounced in Japanese is similar to the phrase "kitto katsu" which means something like "sure victory," so it's become something of a little joke turned tradition to give people (usually students about to take tests) Kit Kats as good luck presents. Thus the space is there to write a little good luck message.

[@Great.Milenko]

blue ribands have always been real chocolate..... at least as long as i can remember them.... theyre delicious! great dunked in a cuppa.... ok so they may not be GREAT ... but theyre better than a bourbon or a custard cream, better than a chocolate digestive too tbh

[@caimin15221522]

Another good thing to have with a cupa is a twix. Bite off the ends and drink the tea through is like a staw. Very messy but very nice

[@MinaF99]

Chocolate digestives are literally the best thing in the world what are you even talking about

[@Etidorhpa]

+AwesomeVindicator better than a bourbon? Are you mad, sir??

[@Cryosphered]

+AwesomeVindicator Okay, not liking bourbons I can understand, same goes for chocolate digestives (even though I love those things to death) but fucking Custard CREAMS?! Are you mad? They're the best biscuit imaginable. They're literally king of biscuit town!

[@caimin15221522]

+TheSonicWarrior d'you know what biscuits are disgusting? Rich tea. literally the worst,driest most bland biscuit in existance

[@icecreamtub123]

Is that... A TEAR!?! In THE BROWN SOFA?! When did this happen?

[@Lakes57]

+icecreamtub123 A tear in the fabric of the Sofaverse! We are all DOOMED!!

[@MellowGaming]

+icecreamtub123 There's either a video we haven't seen yet or Ashens had a violent falling out with the sofa. I assume they've made up now.

[@sharkhandz8084]

Nestlé makes both kit kat and blue ribband so I can't imagine its that bad

[@torquetheprisoner]

Adam Jackson i dont like coloring books i never seem to stay in the lines but thanks for thinking about me.

[@anonmouse15]

Ashens will be pleased to hear that Blue Riband has made it's way to Australia. I found it in the Reject Shop.

[@IceRiverBeats]

"Whats the worst that could happen? Oh yea, death". xD

[@grfrjiglstan]

The last bar was dry because Nestle thinks water isn't a basic human right.

[@chiefbigsad7995]

i guess you could say the cherry blossom and green tea kit kat was not your..... cup of tea.

I was hoping he said that

According to projections, probably around mid December.

Say what you want about Blue Ribbonds- boring, bland, dry, but they're surprisingly satisfying.

[@plymouthwho]

Riband* Are you even British?

[@bubblegumbunny]

Blue Ribands are exactly how you describe them, but unfortunately I have a soft spot for them because my late grandma used to always get them, so their horrible dusty little tendrils are forever tangled in my soul.

[@MrBananabart]

GREEN TEA FLAVOR IS AMAZING

[@SteveBenway]

I was born in the late 60s... (Damn, I'm old)... and I remember Blue Riband! We were poor, so they were my mum's idea of a treat. Bleh. I also remember a very similar wafer/chocolate thing called "Taxi". It was much the same thing, but had a red wrapper.

[@bilkyasko]

+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) Taxi's still about too. Iceland do 9 for £1.

[@naranciaisbestboi125]

+Bilky Asko So in US dollars you're getting nine for $1.52? That's really cheap considering that even our cheapest chocolates go for fifty cents each.

[@Floral_Green]

Taxi bars are incredible. This coming from someone that generally doesn't like chocolate, too.

[@paulspydar]

+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) Taxi bars were red? I remember them as yellow... im sure you are right though.. :-)

[@SteveBenway]

I seem to remember United bars being yellow, but I could be entirely wrong about that. Gonna have to go google these things now :D

[@theJellyjoker]

"Blue Ribbon" Looks like what we call a "Nutty Bar" here in America, but without the peanut butter.

[@Chaos89P]

I thought the same thing.

[@Pinkcatninja]

+Jeffery Liggett Quick someone get Ashens a Nutty Bar for comparison!

[@SpaghettiFace2]

I live in America, and I have never heard of a Nutty Bar.

[@Mercyz]

yesss

[@SharkNinjaBlueStar]

+Jeffery Liggett Except Nutty Bars typically aren't shit if you buy the brand name ones. I've actually been considering sending Ashens some Southern treats and whatnot of that sort.

[@MysticJhn]

Seeing international KitKat videos depress me a bit. Here in America, Hershey owns the KitKat name unlike everywhere else in the world, and as such they have no imagination. All they sell are the milk chocolate and white chocolate flavors of KitKat. Meanwhile I always see this large assortment of possible Nestle KitKats from around the world (although Japan seems to have the most varieties) we can never have without special ordering them online.

[@futurekarlos5256]

MysticJhn Yeah in the UK we have Milk, Dark, White, Chocolate Orange, Mint Chocolate, Peanut Butter, Double Chocolate, Cookie Dough and a few others i cant remember

[@MultiCool55]

I think Hershey even owns Cadbury in the US. Fuck.

[@SasmakToy]

@ashens The reason that these Kit Kats are tiny is because they are lunch-box sized, snack sized ones that we would usually get for halloween or for children in the U.K and North America. Full sized Kit Kats do not exist in Japan. Instead, these snack sized ones come in boxes, containing a few of these small packets. This also explains the message space on the back of each, as it is popular in Japan for women to put small, encouraging notes in their family's lunches each day. These would be on the smaller sized ones because they are easy to stick in a bento box.

[@shazbunkle]

I love Blue Ribands, they are nice with a cuppa.

[@Adahop]

Everyone seesms to say that, and I can't say I know what a cuppa is. Is that a British shortening of something like "cup of coffee"?

[@mleepocat]

+Adahop | 3D Printing - Gaming - Tutorials - Giveaways Yep, exactly.

[@PikachuMayhem]

+Adahop | 3D Printing - Gaming - Tutorials - Giveaways - British shortening of "cup of" - cuppa on its own usually refers to a cup of tea

[@Roseheartt]

+Adahop | 3D Printing - Gaming - Tutorials - Giveaways It's actually "a cup of tea", but I imagine a lot of people probably use it for coffee too.

[@pinheadious]

Indeed.

[@Whitefright]

Chocolate...? CHOCOLATE!!!!!!

[@arafat464]

What kind of Brit doesn't like tea? Didn't you guys conquer half the world just so you could get cheap tea?

[@Meccarox]

Lol I know right.

[@snugcresent]

Logic

[@LeonardoBaez]

yeah but after that incident with the americans everithing changed.... and then the indians, damn you ghandi!!!

[@skirtingboard]

just because someone is born in Britain doesn't mean they swear an oath to like tea

[@snugcresent]

+BoredVideoGamer Exactly

[@RenMi86]

The white chocolate on is labeled as being aimed towards adults ("an adult's sweetness") , so that probably explains the blandness. In Japan, there are a lot of products aimed towards adults and are known to be less sweet than the normal offerings.

[@chris_stacey]

The level of engineering that goes into coating a Blue Riband with exactly one micron of chocolate layer is a wonder to behold.

[@jono_high]

OH I LOVE BLUE RIBBANDS, BLUE RIBBANDS ARE MY FAVOURITE

[@MiisterShane]

Blue Ribband aren't THAT bad, sir Ashen. In my family they used to be quite a high-ticket item compared to the economy shopping we usually got.

[@dbt4869]

Yeah not they're absolutely garbage

[@TechyBen]

*Rubs eyes*. Ok Ashens, have you grown all of a sudden, those are massive hands.

[@Catyclept89]

I freaked out when Ashens listed the Kit Kat "To Mollie" because I wasn't concentrating and I thought he was talking about me. But then I remembered I'm not the only Mollie and Ashens has no idea who I am.

I never seen a blue ribbon bar, but then again ive never seen a mars bar in person either. We don't really have them here State side.(unless i guess you go into a novelty chocolate shop or some shit) Also North American Candy Bars are very different from European ones, like milkyway and snickers are different, like your version of a milkyway is our 3musketeers or something

[@Roseheartt]

+Chef Excellence Actually, the US _does_ have it's own version of the Mars bar. The US Milky Way is essentially a Mars bar, and the actual Mars bar that _was_ sold in the US is now the Snickers Almond bar, though it's slightly different.

[@TheLobstersoup]

A friend brought me the Kit Kat Wasabi version and something with Pumpkin, probably Hokkaido. The Wasabi version was also white chocolate and surprisingly better than I expected. They seem to have a plethora of different Kit Kat in Japan, which is confusing, because we have the chunky and regular one here and occasionally white Kit Kat. I wonder why there are so many different versions in Japan.

[@themonkeyhand]

The Green Tea one is Cherry Green Tea, you can also get regular Green Tea ones year-around. They have several Kit Kat stores in malls in Tokyo that sell specialty bars but they are pricey.

[@vidyajamesu]

KitKats are very popular in Japan because there is a Japanese saying, "Kittu Katsu", that essentially means "good luck", or more literally, "Surely win". The candies are often given to school children just before big events like exams and such, because they believe it brings them good luck! Neat little tid bit someone told me a long time ago.

[@Stackocity]

Ashens hates Tea?? That just shatters my entire universe.

[@cjd29]

The last kit Kat was otonaaji, or adult flavor. Usually when you get that here it means significantly less sweet. Also, all of them have a message area because kitkats are given to students as a good luck thing before big tests. Kit Kat sounds like kittokatsu, which is saying sure victory or more colloquially you've got it.

Walking in on 4:25, I guessed it was a "Bamboo Tosser Bar" I also remember a few days ago I came across Twinkles in WH Smith and bought the packet.

A couple of years ago, Blue Riband was my biscuity choice for a cup of tea. Not just from the 70's!

The white chocolate flavour actually says ”Adult Sweetness” (オトナの甘さ) on it. Much like the gifting of Kit-Kats itself, it's a bit a of a "thing" over there. Simply means less sweet, or bitter. I guess it beats the branding Pocky uses which is simply "Men's". The Adult Sweetness green tea Kit-Kats are quite a popular Japanese export. Oddly, this is the first time I've seen it applied to white chocolate. It's a strange idea as white chocolate pretty much is just sweetness packaged in a mysterious off-beige coating format with a vaguely chocolatey texture.

Toured Japan for a couple of months and I swear that there is a place in the Hida regions (I think it's called Takayama) where they sell green tea flavored EVERYTHING. It was amazing. If you guys go to Japan sometime, the best scenery, pubs, food and experiences overall are not in the mainstream cities.

A Brit who doesn't like tea? Granny Lizzie, we've got a traitor here!

Kit Kat sounds similar to the Japanese phrase for good luck. they've become a traditional gift to give students before an exam (that's why they have the panel on the back to write a message).

[@wesleydevries875]

hey ashens you surerly know this by now but the reason for the "message section" on the back of those kitkats is because in japan kitkat are considered good luck because the japanese reading of kitkat, "kitto katto" sounds similar to "kitto katsu", a phrase which translates to " surely win". thats why they got so many flavors in japan.

Blue ribbon are actually one of my favourites even when I was a kid

[@Snoobroglo30]

My Grandma always asks us if we'd like a Blue Riband when we go around and we're like "NO"
