Yokohama ストロベリー チーズケーキ (Strawberry Cheesecake) Kitkat



The Strawberry Cheesecake Kitkat, as well as the Ani Tofu Kitkat are the regional Kitkat flavours for Yokohama. Compared to the Ani Tofu flavour which had a more distinct taste, the Strawberry Cheesecake flavour was less satisfying. Don't get me wrong, it's still tasty and there was a tint of a fruity flavour but you can't tell it's strawberry and there's no cheese taste at all. Was hoping for a stronger flavour.



On the whole, it's an interesting omiyage to bring home with you but it's a winner in terms of its taste. If you are in Yokohama, suggest you pick up a box of Ani Tofu Kitkat instead. In case you are wondering why Ani Tofu and Strawberry Cheesecake flavours are supposed to be representative of Yokohama, it's because Yokohama is a port city and hence one of the first places in Japan that was exposed to foreign culture through foreign trading vassals. And hence, these two "foreign-imported" flavours were chosen.
