Lotte Japanese Chocolate, Meshed Milk & Green Tea Chocolate, Sasha with Cacao (Imported from Japan), 69g per box

Green tea chocolate is one of the more underrated culinary treasures to come out of Japan. Though certain versions thereof - like KitKat - have a cloying artificiality about them that tends to detract from the flavor, these are positively delicious. The green tea flavor is not bitter like a strong matcha, but nor is it overly sweet; it tends to compliment the very milky milk chocolate (in technical terms...) in a delightful way, much like adding a half-teaspoon of honey to a cup of warm green tea. Though in the opposite direction here, I suppose: adding a thimbleful of green tea to a chocolate bar.I got my first box of these as a gift some time over the summer, and after 2 or 3 (yes, like most Japanese treats, these are all individually plastic wrapped for your protection, and the destruction of the environment), it became readily apparent that I would have to find a way to track down more. As luck would have it, like so many things in this world, they're quite readily available on Amazon. I bought another 2 boxes within the week, and will certainly be buying more after I recover from the holiday calorie crush.
