I picked up this きなこ おはぎ味 (Kinako Ohagi) Kit Kat from my local conbini for about 150 yen. The flavor was released for autumn in early September, and I’m not sure how long it will stay on shelves (I’d guess through winter, but maybe only through fall). Before I get into the candy, let me explain what it’s supposed to be imitating. An ohagi is a traditional Japanese sweet rice ball, usually made in fall from rice and sweet azuki beans or kinako.
