Stop, pink twice...

I can't pretend I don't love Japan.
I'd say Japan & Korea are probably the two countries on Earth that can get away with using baby blue and pink everywhere and still make it look cool.

I'm packing a lot o' stuff up, travelling and all. But when you're putting away treasures you tend to rediscover them as well. Amongst the dusty boxes of random hoarded goods, I found...

Have a lucky break...

pinky goodness.
Yay, there's nothing more appealing than 'the same but different'. And nothing says the same but different like a pink KitKat. My Japanese is about 17 years rusty, "Watashi wa nezumi desu", or "Sore wa nan kitsune desu ka?", are probably it.
Okay I can also answer the phone, greet, farewell and say excuse me, and name random things like orange, hamburger, ice cream, car, clock, & little sister.
Anything else I say in Japanese is going to be in the context of geography, mythology, or comic books.
I'm gonna' hazard a guess it says something about blossoms on that box.

Mmm. So accessable. Usually Japanese confectionery has layers wrapping it's layers wrapping it's layers...

This bar was promoted as the lucky item to have that year for people sitting exams in Japan. There's generally a lucky item that comes out every year people are gonna' scoop up. C'mon now, you don't want to be the person that failed your test by a hair's breadth, forever wondering if your whole life coulda' been different on account of a coupla' yen for some Nestle candy.

So the taste test? Yeah I admit it. That bar was packaged in 2006 or so, but I still tried a sliver of broken 'chocolate' from it. We all know candy doesn't truly expire because it's not really food... and I'm not dying as a result yet. Calm down people! it's not as though I just gorged myself on floor-pizza. It tasted pink.

You can consume cherry blossom?

Alright then. I never knew cherry blossom was really used a flavour. For honest goodness a real flava! I've never licked a blossom tree, so having nothing to compare it to, if this is the flavour of cherry blossoms then it wins the day!
I'm kinda' take it or leave it with black tea. It's a real neutral zone for me, and mostly I milk with the ceylon tea story. But KZZANNG! wha..?
I'm totally sold on this. It's good. No it's goood. It has all the numbing nyanyas of a standard black tea,  but wait for it, just around the corner of your tastebuds, lurking like a lithe feathery ribbon clutching a bunch of TNT sticks - BOOM flutter flutter.
Obviously it helps if you like tea to some extent. If all you quaff is caramel-carbonated-mineral-salt-water then I can't recommend buying 7 pallet loads of Sakura tea... but do it anyway, just for me.
