Hi, does anyone know where the best place to get these from so that they arrive in time, are still within their best before date and aren’t just teeny-tiny bite-size versions? Thanks. :)

There’s meant to be loads of weird and wonderful flavours! Thought they would be perfect for hard-to-buy-for DH

Watching with interest also!

I have never been able to find full size versions but I live in Ireland so not sure if is the same in the uk. I ordered mixed mini boxes via amazon. The expire dates were far out and I actually really liked the minis as I tried flavours that I was not overly fond and may not have finished a large bar (the purple potato one being an example) but was delighted to tey. Some asian markets stock a pack of mini bars, I have bought some in an Asian Market in Dublin. There are about 8 mini bars in the pack (all the same flavour). Wasbi bars are fab

I order my dd's Japanese sweets on Amazon but the Kit Kats do come small. You may be able to order Kit Kats only if not I go to the local Asian shop and have all kind of goodies.

PickledMuffin · 31/08/2023 21:13

OMG why did I not know about these before!!!!! Thank you OP!!

I love the green tea Kit Kats, I've only ever seen them in the mini version so I don't know if they come in full-sized.

When my Mum went to Japan on holiday she asked if I wanted anything so I asked for some green tea Kit Kats. She couldn't remember exactly what I'd asked for but remembered there was a colour in the name, so she brought back red bean Kit Kats. They were horrible.

If you have any Asian supermarkets, try them. You might even find them in the World Food sections in the supermarkets.
Otherwise try Amazon or there are lots of foreign sweets/candy sellers.

I did not know these were a thing!! I know what DH is getting for Christmas now!!

Online Japanese Kawai store Tofu Cute sells them (and loads of other Japanese sweets too!). If you live near Portsmouth they have a shop you can visit.

MrsKwazi · 31/08/2023 21:34

There is no full size version as we know it even in Japan. In Japanese supermarkets you buy a bag with lots of minis in it, all one flavour, like we would buy ‘fun size’ snickers or whatever.

APurpleSquirrel · 31/08/2023 21:34

There are loads of flavours! Whether any are nice or not...?

Can highly recommend the Apple ones and also the purple yam/sweet potato ones.

PickledMuffin · 31/08/2023 21:38

Do I spy one called sparkling wine with a picture of someone driving?!

Landlubber2019 · 31/08/2023 21:40

We bought a box for Christmas, great fun trying the different flavours, most were lovely 😍

We also bought cat noodle bowls, which we 💕

Sorry I just don't remember where we order from 😕

Thank you for this, just spent £50 on there! Haha.

The Tokyo Treat subscription box is also fab as the box includes a full bag of kit Kat's, a drink and other treats in every box. They usually have all sorts of offers this time of year as well

Got all excited on Sugiomart but they don’t ship to my address apparently!

Oh what a shame. I lived in Japan 2001-2003 and back then you could def get 4 finger bars in a selection of odd / amazing flavours

Holidaydiscosinglemum · 01/09/2023 21:53

Another vote for Tokyo Treat Box being fun! Just don't forget to cancel....
The peach kitkats were lovely

CandlestickInTheLibrary · 01/09/2023 22:41

Another Japanese food subscription box is Bokksu: https://www.bokksu.com/

They include savoury and sweet snacks and teas. Don't think I got a kitkat in every box sadly.

It looks like they sell individual kitkats in their online store.

Just spotted them on ebay. 10 x banana carmel 13£ for 10
