Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar...

No lie!  Japan has the coolest snacks EVER! 

My new craze is trying to find the newest flavored Kit Kats.

So please understand that I do not like chocolate very much.  I mean it's just okay to me....I am not one of those people that loooooves chocolate.  I would much rather have a handful of gummy bears.

Eddie actually eats VERY little chocolate a year....less than 16oz, but we both really like these flavored Kit Kats.  The reason:  they are made of white chocolate and infused with unique flavors.

Here in Japan, the Japanese have mastered Kit Kats...they have flavors that are so unique, sound bizarre, but taste DE-LEC-TABLE!

 - watermelon 
 - creme brulle
 - green tea
- apple cider vinegar (the best so far)
- buttered potato
- corn soup
- Tokyo has a soy sauce flavor (haven't tried it yet)  
 - This list goes on and on!  

Here are a few that we actually found lately.


MY FAV!  Ginger Ale flavored
Apple/Carrot 
Yummy!  Royal Milk Tea....sort of like a tea flavor with milk
top: caramel salt
middle:hazelnut
bottom: sweet potato

Hey you guys:  I was skeptical at first too..........you all now that one thing I know is good food! We'll have to snag some up when (if) we ever make it back to America to share:)

Misawa World Wine Festival

Lucky us, we had another date night!  We attended the wine festival and sampled wine from all around the world on Saturday.  We snacked on really yummy food...for about 2 hours.  I had a super full belly when we left there.  There was live Jazz music as well.  

I only like sweet wine, so when I got a sample of a dry wine I poured it into Eddie's glass :)  he he he!

We still like German wine the best......it beats Italian, American, Australian and Japanese rice wine hands down!

Misawa Air Show

 ...okay I have been slacking. We really haven't done anything too thrilling lately, so I haven't updated the blog.

However, we did go to the Misawa Air Show a few weeks ago (I know ..it's late, I would rather sit on the couch with Eddie and Elijah than edit photos lately)  

There were a BAZILLION Japanese on the base.  Truly, there were a BAZILLION!  Believe me when I say Japanese people love American stuff.....to the sum of buying up items marked WAY up.  There was a line that was about 90 min long for Burger King and 60 minutes long for Popeye's Chicken....really?  The air show is one day......Anthony's Pizza grossed $55,000....no lie!

Yet and still the Japanese people were still the most polite guests ever!  

...this is what a BAZILLION Japanese people looks like!

...I am not going to lie....I was pretty proud of the shots I was able to capture with my camera!
