In my previous post, I talked about my “Original Variety Pack” filled with Senbei (Japan’s Savory Umami Rice Snacks) and Matcha KitKats.
Salted rice crackers and sweet treats make the perfect pairing—especially matcha-flavored sweets!
So today, I’m introducing a special matchup: the world-famous Matcha KitKat and the legendary “Happy Turn” senbei, loved by everyone in Japan 🇯🇵❤️
Note: Happy Turn is a very popular senbei in Japan, known for its addictive “Happy Powder.” For more details, check out the Happy Turn review!
Now for the tasting 😋
Look! Both have a slim shape that fits easily in your mouth, making them so easy to eat together.
The sweet and salty flavor of Happy Turn’s “magic powder” and the slightly bitter matcha aroma of KitKat are a perfect match ✨
As you can see from the cross-section,
Happy Turn has a fine, light texture that is very similar to the crispy wafers inside the KitKat.
Because their textures are so alike, eating them alternately feels completely natural, and you just can’t stop! 😋
Drinks to pair with this set 🍵
This combination is sweet, so it pairs perfectly with refreshing, unsweetened teas like green tea, unsweetened black tea, and oolong tea! 👌
For reference when purchasing 🛍️
Here are the packages for both products.
Take a look and use them as a reference when you go shopping! （Both are available at local supermarkets and drugstores.）
—How about it? Feeling tempted?
This pairing of two heavyweights in the snack world is a perfect match! 😋
You’ve gotta give it a try!
Next time, I featured “Pairing Edition #2” with Matcha KitKat and Teshioya. Don’t miss the ultimate harmony of ‘salt & dashi’ with matcha ✨
