I don't know if this is out of the ordinary, but I freakin' LOVE green tea. With a passion. Anything out of Japan with green tea/matcha elements makes me so happy. Whether it be green tea ice cream, matcha lattes, to green tea kitkats... I love it all. Sometimes when I'm in Asia and out with friends I order green tea with vodka as my drink of choice.
So today my sister messages me on facebook. My family lives in Tokyo, and in said message my sister tells me about a new creation called "cookies and green tea" and says it's "sooooo yummy." It sounds godly. But I cannot find it in my nearby supermarket. I hear from a friend that it's a special edition flavor in Japan only. IS THIS TRUE?! I have googled but cannot find info. Sigh.
Looks. so. glorious!

Ok, that's pretty amazing looking. I haven't had green tea ice cream in a while.
Not all Japanese exclusives are good though.

wow those both look so good @_@

Oh, god, Jibba, LOL.
Looks like an interesting variety of ice cream. I would definitely try it, but my favourite of all time is their rocky road ice cream.

My soda on my desk is suddenly tasting funny.
CUCUMBER?! Whaaaaaaaaat. X_X

Another unique food snack that they have in Japan are Wasabi kitkats!
They taste weird but at the same time pretty yummy.

Actually it sounds pretty good. To me, at least :<

Haha... he's not confused about what kitkats are... It's because I shared with him my precious green tea kitkats the last time i saw him.
What kind of deprived child wouldn't know what kitkats are?!

Damn man it's been a while since so many people jumped on my shit over nothing LOL it's good to be back, TL.
P.S. Fuck you n_n;

My GF loves the Japanese haagen-dazs, and we took pictures of every flavour that we ate, probably close to 20.
I didn't particularly like green-tea and cookies or most of the plain ones for that matter (plain = red box), my favourite ones were from the dolce collection (it's more expensive than the regular haagen-dazs) which is their take on classic desserts with ice cream.
E.g.

Which is the real KitKat?
Hershey or Nestle?
or
|
When I was living there I enjoyed going to the Coldstone Creamery because they sing for you!
|
Hershey kitkats are a disgrace to the brand.
In fact, all American candy is vastly inferior to the British counterparts.

Oh man that nestle bring back memory of my childhood days asking my dad to buy that candy.

Those foods seem like the things I would find in the fridge during a weird dream -.-;
I hope the insides of the Wasabi KitKats are not sugary O_o

The green tea and cookie ice cream just looks like the regular haagen dazs grean tea ice cream with cookie pieces, nothing revolutionnary

haha in Coldstone creamery, after mixing the ice cream with the chocolate/cookie chips, the waitress has to put the cup upside down to prove the ice cream is still very solid. If the ice cream falls down, they have to make a new one !
Regarding strange flavors, we also have terrible stuffs in China. Like the fruit flavors Lays crisps :
Blueberry, Kiwi, Pineapple...

Man, I had Green Tea ice cream at a Thai resteraunt once. It was quite frankly the most amazing ice cream I've had in my life.
Otherwise, I live off Arizona Green Tea when I'm out and about and get thirsty. I can only imagine how much money I've spent over the years on can after can of that stuff.
EDIT: Oh, and lets not forget.. One of the greatest Green Tea inventions from Asia.
|
ya there are lots of limited flavors in asia hahaha
|
Actually kiwi flavored chips sound pretty good. I Looooove me some kiwi.
also, gotta back up R1CH on this one - Nestle KitKats are the bomb

we still get nestle kitkats here...mmmmmmmmm kitkat
|
Some of these foods look really badass. Especially that tiramisu ice cream that looks like dirt LOL. I must say green tea ice cream kind of disgusts me but I've never actually tried it so it might just as well be good.
|
Gawd, just about all those "mixes" give me a gag reflex D: How do people eat that?
I like kiwi, kiwi chips make me sick just thinking about it. What happened to spring onion normal chips...
I love drinking tea and green tea, but green tea ice-cream/biscuit sticks...? Chocolate-chip is fine kthx.
Wasabi kitkat? Wat? Wut? What is this, I don't even....
Cucumber Ice soda? I imagine that's torture almost as bad as being water boarded.
|
now imagine being waterboarded but with that pepsi instead of water. Anyhow those japanese kitkats freak me out, how can people eat that TT, nestle on the other hand makes some of the best candy known to man, im not sure about american candy, my only encounter with them is in the form of skittles, and I do love me some skittles.
|
green tea goes awesome with any type of alcohol.

Ok I hate all of you with your Kit Kat stories.
We don't have those in Brazil. Children have bitter childhoods here.

I may have been too quick. You mean greentea and biscuits? because i only found green tea. But your focus was on greentea so with bisquits or not, it must still appeal to you =D

Have no worries, hagen dasz is so expensive everywhere you go, that its not for everyone. Only for the rich or for that special moment 1 time of the year. But i think you still have a point though
HEY! you got the fucking biggest rain forest on earth! thats imba!! We have corn fields and corn fields and then some more boring corn fields with all kinds of different animals exterminated because that will make farming more effeciently. But you.. You can just walk into the forest and discover 10 new species that has never been recorded before ...

Haagen Dasz is cheap in the states, relatively at least. I was surprised how cheap it was when I first moved here from Canada.

Green tea Yogurt please... *drool* that's the sort that's both yummy and healthy (if you don't overindulge)

Rewe has Wasabi Chips (not Chio, their own brand). They're pretty tame though. Wasabi peas are much better.
