Eating Every US vs Japanese Kit Kat Flavor | Food Wars
Kit Kat in America is made by Hersheys and in Japan and Canada and the rest of the world Kit kat is made by Nestle !!! The regular Kit kats of each company tastes quiet a bit different cause the two companies use slightly different recipes !!! Thats my useless Kit Kat knowledge cause I do food tasting videos LOL .
That rest of the world, without the British actually inventing Kitkat in 1932, by Rowntree they'd be no Japanese and American trying to out do each other with various flavours, they'll never have the experience of tasting the much superior flavour of the original Rowntree Kitkat.
Hersheys chocolate is terrible let’s face it
@@SteakBaked99 yes
Ew, Nestlé.
Yum
My soul was crushed when I saw him biting multiple bars together on those lovely KitKats.
It could be worse, he could've taken a bite right out of the side, or, some people just want to watch the world burn and take a cookie cutter to the middle of a kit-kat.
lol you like that??
Ikr What a monster
Same here 😂😆
Gives me a flashback to being in the office a few weeks before the first UK lockdown and getting slated for doing that without realising it was seen as a bit weird ha
I had a colorful time on the toilet after shooting this video.
KitKat bars contain lactose. If you are lactose intolerant, then try taking lactase tablets before you eat anything containing dairy products or lactose.

Oh thats sad
Are you dating someone you need some to chain you down lol.
Well that is just how life works.😢
The Japanese guy really had his time to shine in this episode and he is funny af. Keep it up!
I agree !!! Not surprised at all he liked all the matcha kit kats LOL
He bites the kitkat ;-;
The girls I hangout with say he's the cutest, so I hate him

Thank you
You are AMAZING 😍 thank you so much ❤
how?
I can't be the only person who thinks the Japanese packaging is adorable 😍
the exact moment George went "it's disgusting" at 4:58, i knew it was gonna be way too sweet for him lol. also, the sudden realisation at 15:00 lmao. I must add, Joe is an absolute monster for munching onto the kitkat bar that way!! btw, thanks for featuring Harry in this 3-way episode!
To be fair, he brought it on himself chomping on kit kats like that.
people get their hands ruined when they break the fjngers apart. I think its less messier to hold the packet from outside and munch them down. Or, is their another way out?
i farted
Yaaaay finally we get some George. He is extremely funny, can't wait for more episodes with him
?????? Perhaps you're in the wrong video
What about all that great Joe content?????
@@JoeAvella top notch as always😎
I had a Japanese sweet potato one that you actually put in the oven for a few minutes to bake.
They were amazing.
Yeah I've heard these are amazing!
I remember this!!! They were so good Omg memory unlocked thank you
it is called "yakiimo"！！
Japan has so many interesting flavors. Love the Harry Cameo. I didn't know that Kit Kats were originated in the UK. Interesting!
Yes they were originally created by a company called Rowntree's of York.
And they're still made in the same factory. On average they make about 5million KitKats a day
York's Chocolate Story has a section dedicated to Kit Kat, really interesting!
I missed a cameo of George in the wasabi episode... Love those crossovers.
@@Illandra Rowntree's used to make quality street when I was a boy back in the 1970s and 80s.
After just watching these guys taste test all those bars of chocolate, I was feeling a little queasy myself. George's expression on trying the less than likeable ones were hilarious. I can vouch for the strawberry cream one. It was so nasty, I even ended up tossing it in the trash after a few bites. And I like Kit Kats!! The matcha flavors varied depending on what region you are in.
Anyone else was thinking that there was no way the US was going too beat Japan in number of exclusives and flavours for KitKat. Just shows how big KitKat is over there in Japan
Japan got bunch unique flavor and cute packaging too. I love kit Kat from japan
I've had the lemon ones before, can confirm that they are awesome.
Omg I know the lemon ones are so good I have like two big bags at my house.
Bummed. I wanted to try em!
Always good to see more George! The salt lemon and cookies and cream kit kats from Japan are my favorite.
Ive tried those too and they are great !!!
Where can we order those?
I remember there was an apple pie flavored Kit-Kat not long ago that was so good. Don't see it anymore sadly.
It was a seasonal flavor, it will be back next fall if you live in the states :)
Yeah remember that. Taste good.
Just a reminder that nestle continue to operate in Russia. Hence forth I will be boycotting them.
I loved the apple pie
George's enthusiasm is awesome.
What about mine????
The way Joe is eating Kit-Kats ...it hurts my brain 😂
Get use to it!
@@JoeAvella I WON'T 😂
Tell them that you can find the colliders by the yogurt at Walmart
Joe eating Kit Kats like a monster, I love it!
🐲 chomp chomp!
Japanese kitkats are so varied and delicious! Happy to see George back on the channel too.
I’ve had the lemon Kit Kats, they’re super delicious! They remind me of those vanilla shortbread cookies with lemon creme in the middle!
Joe: "is the way I'm eating annoying?"
Me: it's so annoying I can't even speak about it 🤦♂️
LOL Thats how I bite kitkats as well :)
idk. he inspired me to eat my kitkats in the same manner.
I eat them like that.
one of the best episodes of food wars series!! cheers🍫
wow!!! Japanese Subtitles have been implemented! I love KitKat! I am very happy that the Japanese KitKat is praised by both the US and the UK!
Japan has the best kitkats. Vanilla sea salt and matcha are my favourite so far
JAPAN FTW
How about thanking the British for actually inventing the Kitkat, a staple of a British tea break for decades.
@@alisonsmith4801 yh makes me wish we had better flavours if we created it.
@@Lil-Dragon You wouldn't if you'd tried the disgusting American ones.
@@alisonsmith4801 American ones taste delicious idk what y’all talking about it’s just really sweet I love bland sweets
5:00 when he looked like it was delicious and then he said "it's disgusting". I laughed so much! He is very funny! 💜
Love these informative and interesting videos!!!
What an awesome Food Wars episode!
George said that the kitkats are regional. Some of them are also seasonal. Esp. Summer and autumn. Summer is always lemon, mint choco. Autumn is always sweet potato&chestnuts. Love it. :)
I love not only the difference in ki kat flavors but also the hosts explains each and how japan is so caring and America is so whatever lol says a lot about our cultures😂
Lmaooo that’s so true
5:44 Joe how dare you eat a Kit Kat like a psychopath
Thats how I eat mine LOL
come up and get me
We have a Japanese candy shop, and I've tried just about every flavor seen here. The flavors are very rich and don't taste artificial, really. The only American Kit-Kat I like are the white chocolate ones.
I'm so thankful for the international store in my state(Nevada). Most of the bagged Japanese Kats George had, I tried and shared with coworkers 😁
Japans Video quality seems to have changed it looks way better now
❤Your channel is literally my comfort place. You make me so happy. Love you❤
So my cousin and I went into the Rock Store near his house to get some bologna & hash brown biscuits since he was craving one.
(had never tried the combo until today but it was pretty good)
While we were checking out I saw they had Strawberry & Dark Chocolate KitKats as well as Blueberry Muffin KitKats. I don't know if they're new but they looked interesting.
NICE
Japanese kitkats are amazing! Hojicha, Dark chocolate with almonds and cranberries, Dark Matcha and dark chocolate are my all time favorites
I love all of George’s facial expressions!!!!🤪🤣🤣🤣
I personally love Kit Kats, no offense to Joe because I assure he’s fun in his own way but I would want and watch George anyway, his reactions and facial expressions are hilarious!!! 🤩🤣🤣
Now I want a Kit-Kat. Y’all are such a good influence to my life.
Looking at all the flavours of kitkat makes me want to stay in Japan 😂🇯🇵
I can't handle watching Joe eat the kitkats like that
He just wants to watch the world burn
🍫👹🍫
Yup haha
He knew what he was doing lol
😈😈😈😈😈😈
I eat them like that.
he definitely did that on purpose 😂
You should've also compare with UK Kit Kats altogether because Kit Kats were originated in the UK
Yes should of been japan vs uk , as the American Kit Kats are not even the same manufacturer , and totally different
I actually did that in one of my videos LOL I tried Canadian American Japanese and UK Kit Kat bars all together !!! it was a lot of fun !!! I wish they had done it like that too !!
Yeah you're right I don't even consider American KitKat a KitKat! It's just awful
@@omaral-azzawi2266 finally the truth!!!!!
I'm in America and I just got the strawberry kit kats "for adults." They are amazing! Best kit kats I've had yet.
Also, at first I was horrified by them biting straight into the kit kats but now I want to try it? It seems oddly satisfying.
Thats how I always eat my Kt kats specially if its for my taste testing videos , just to make people a little horrified and get laughs out of it :)
@@FoodTastertv You are doing it right!
@@sabosage lol thanks 🙏
To that guy representing the US. Why did he eat the Kit Kat that way. I demand an apology.
But Japanese dude did like an AMAZING job teaching us about the kit kat explanation in Japan!
Yay George!! So happy to see him back ❤
I remember buying matcha, tokyo banana, and cherry sakura kitkat. It's amazing how Japan come up with a lot of different flavor
My personal favorite Kit Kat flavors are the matcha and breaktime almond and cranberry (milk chocolate or ruby chocolate). The breaktime flavors are amazing!
16:54 HAHA That's right. One thing I immediately noticed when I moved to Japan was everything sweet had a fraction of sweetness compared to my country Brazil. But eventually that becomes your standard and every once in a while some fellow Brazilian offers you a sweet from Brazil and it's so unhealthily sweet you think it's gonna melt your teeth.
George’s reactions are hilarious 😂
We need a UK vs JAPAN vs USA on anything please! 😂
I AGREE !!! EPIC videos !!!!
They had christmas special all together, i think that counts
@@playlover9680 oh yea! they need to do another tho
You love to see when all 3 are together
I shopped online for the Japanese cheesecake and strawberry (13:20 time stamp) flavour Kit Kats. They both taste amazing.
I watched this video 2 days ago. It caused me to go on Amazon and order a 2 pound bag, which just arrived. I don't remember kit Kats being this sweet. Very very sweet, and I love sweets. I'd love to try the green tea ones, but they are too expensive for me 😭
Omg George is so funny ❤️😅 Great episode, thank you!
what about meeeeeeeee???????
@@JoeAvella you are also great! But in a more sassy way 😁
He needs to be a relationship tho lol
I love that I'm learning about Japan while watching a video about food.
Nothing beats Japan kitkats! ❤️
nothing beats Japan period!
@@lifeinsidekyoto6553 i mean the bombs did.
@@bananafone1414 really? do you really have to put it up don’t ya?
@@bananafone1414omg
This show is 🔥
Big shoutout to George ! Fan of your channel
Cheers from San Diego California

@@FoodTastertv George Japan
Been waiting for US vs Japan Food Wars for so long! Great to see George again!! Can't wait for when you do it with Harry in UK vs US FW! Fun Fact: I'm a huge fan of Kit Kat! 👍
I don't know who you are but stay away from me and my family.

In uk we have
original
peanut butter
caramel
dark chocolate
Salted popcorn
Biscoff
Zebra
Cookie dough
Coco
Aero
White chocolate
Orange
Dark mint
And a Easter egg
That’s all the ones I have seen in shops
Lemon Krisp kit kat is amazing! So good.
Japan always has the best flavor of kit Kat. Ton of them with unique taste. I especially buying lot of different flavors from Japan shipping it to my country. Cost so much but worth the money
Yeah, they even have wasabi kit kat
Damn the Japanese cookies and cream KitKat sounds so amazing! 🤩
The kit kat chocolatory in Ginza is amazing. Tons of special flavors and a Cafe upstairs. In the Cafe you can get kit kat sundaes and hot chocolate.
I had a caramel pretzel Kit Kat when I was in New Zealand. Best candy I’ve ever had.
So pleased that George is back! He is a ray of sunshine
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OKINAWA FINALLY GOT NOTICED! Thanks George
Wow I’m literally eating a lemon crisp Kit Kat while watching this. 😂
It’s like lemon pie!
It’s really good!
The glow in the dark kitkat will need like a flashlight shined on it before turning off the lights
I love japanese kitkats, ordered a big box of about 30 flavours online a few years ago.
Japanese kit kat is awesome. One of the flavors I brought back my from trip was this Hokkaido Melon and Mascarpone cheese. It's one of the best things I've ever tasted and I have family who wish I could get tons of that one alone, but not so simple.
I love that when it comes to Kit Kats, there's really no competition lol
Watching these is so hilarious 😂 😆 🤣 😂
The apple kit Kats are my favorite, they taste very fresh and probably have the best apple flavor I have had. Cookies and cream is a second for me.
The strawberry cheesecake ones are amazing. Everytime my boss goes to Japan he brings them back. And every few months our rep from Japan will send them to us.
My favorite line " It's as beautiful as my heart~"😆
I love the 大人の甘さ series of kitkats so bad... they taste amazing cold!
Japan knows how to get their Kit Kat on. A lot of flavors and variety’s then in the US. Wonderful video.😁👍
Can you do a pop tart video next please!! We LOVE American snacks and love seeing all the different types of snacks that are in each country!!
Will never happen since pop tarts are unkown and hard to find in Japan.
as always very entertaining, also thank you for eating the kit kats like this, I often do it just to make people uncomfortable...works with string cheese as well.
This is why Kit Kat is my favourite Chocolate Bar, because of the variety.
Definitely should have got the UK on here too. We have some unique kitkat products
Japanese Kit Kat definitely treated in a very respectable way! Class!
George really took the comedy to another level in this one 🤣
My favorite Japanese Kit Kats are the purple Halloween-y ones. I don't know what the purple Halloween-y ones are (maybe apple pie) but I love them! I wanna try so many.
Joe chose chaos while tasting the kit Kats and I applaud him for it.
I knew Kit Kats were really popular in Japan but I'm surprised they don't have a four-finger bar, that seems the most iconic! Also who else in the UK/Ireland agrees Kit Kats tasted better when they were wrapped in foil and a paper sleeve?
I need some Japanese KitKats.
I had that rum raisin Kit Kat when I was in Japan. I loved it 😂
6:28 that KitKat monster 😂😂
The packaging in Japan is pretty neat
Yaaaaass Japan is back George's is back my favorite I love this guy and kit Kats are definitely my favorite candy bar 🥰
WAT what about the J man???
@@JoeAvella I love you too Joe 😘🥰❤️
Agreed the raspberry creme kitkats are deeeeelicious
The way Joe ate that kitkat bar, gave me chills in my spine.
I miss living in Japan so much :( I used to live in Kitashinjuku in Tokyo, and it was absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful country with so many things to experience.
i visited for a few weeks. Incredible place.
@@JoeAvella I want to go back so badly 😞
I'm curious how Kit-Kat tastes in the US, as it's made from Hershey and not Nestle like the rest of the world. Does it have the sickly aftertaste like regular Hershey chocolate?
Ive tried both side by side for my videos and its definitely slightly different. To me the American Kitkat had a stronger cocoa flavour and was less sweet and less creamy than the Nestle version we get in canada !!
It doesn't taste good it has fake chocolate chemical taste first time I tried it when I moved here I threw it in the trash bcz I thought it was expired but then I found out it's different bcz it's made by Hershey's not Nestle
Yes. that nasty Hersheys taste is there. Definitely not comparable to the ones here in the UK.
I've had both in Canada and Hershey's version is vile and disgusting. Hershey's should just give up the rights back to Nestle. They clearly aren't even good at making their own chocolate.
Yes it's back thanks food wars
When I ordered a japanese snack box, they had apple pie flavoured kit kats in them. They were mind-blowingly good.
Great video as always. I have an idea for a new country if you want to. You should do food wars with an Arabic country, would be interesting. And you should do food wars with UK vs Japan, I'd love to see how Harry and George would interact.
Id love to watch those videos !!!!
@@FoodTastertv I know right.
I knew that there were a lot of unique Japanese Kit Kat flavors but I didn’t realize there were that many
Man i was the one who said to do a kitkat war in your 2 weeks ago episode it is coming true thank you insider😍😍😍
Those green Japanese ones are so nice!
