We did our groceries for Christmas earlier than usual. This shelf caught our attention as there were packs of Kitkat that we usually found and bought as souvenirs in Japan.

| Kitkat packs from Japan |
There were dark chocolate, matcha (green tea), milk tea, orange and strawberry variants that cost 227 pesos per pack (that's about 585 yen per pack). The price was not bad as it was about the same prices in supermarkets or the airports in Japan. These used to be seasonal variants but are not available all year round. I guess there might be a few that are seasonal including the sakura flavor that's usually available in springtime. I guess the novelty of these items are now lost as you can already buy them at the local supermarket. A similar thing happened a longer time ago to the Hersheys, Toblerone, Cadbury and other chocolates that used to be imported or brought in as souvenirs (pasalubong) of relatives and friends coming home from abroad. These are now commonly available in many shops.
