Are you searching for that unique matcha chocolate flavour you’ve seen on social media or discovered on a trip to Japan? The selection in local supermarkets is often limited, making it difficult to find authentic Japanese snacks. This guide is here to help you in your search. We will highlight several popular choices and provide practical tips to help you make an informed decision.
As a Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I see it as my mission to provide you with clear, objective information about products you can find online.
Before you make your choice, here are a few points to consider that can help you find the right green tea chocolate for you.
Matcha naturally has an earthy, slightly bitter taste, while chocolate is typically sweet. The ratio between these two elements defines the final flavour experience. Some products use white chocolate as a base, resulting in a sweeter, creamier taste. Other varieties, often with 'dark' or 'rich' in their name, use a base with more cocoa or a more intense matcha, creating a deeper and less sweet flavour. Consider which profile you prefer beforehand.
Japanese sweets are renowned for their surprising textures. Are you looking for the famous crispy wafer, like in a KitKat matcha? Or do you prefer a soft, creamy biscuit, such as in sandwich-style matcha cookies? The texture is a key part of the experience, so check the product description carefully to know what to expect.
Since many of these snacks are imported directly from Japan, they may have a shorter shelf life (best-before date) than you might be used to. Reputable online stores will clearly state this on the product page. It is a good idea to pay attention to this, especially if you plan on stocking up.
Below is a selection of popular matcha chocolate products currently available. We have chosen them based on their product specifications and unique characteristics.
Why It Stands Out: This KitKat combines the familiar crispy wafer with a layer of white chocolate and Japanese matcha. The package contains 9 individually wrapped bars, which is convenient for sharing or taking on the go.

Why It Stands Out: This product from Meiji is not a bar, but a sandwich. Two thin, crispy biscuits enclose a rich filling where the flavours of cocoa and premium matcha unite. A sophisticated option for the enthusiast.

Why It Stands Out: This version of KitKat matcha is specially developed for those who love a more intense matcha flavour. According to the manufacturer, it uses Uji matcha powder, which is known for its deep, rich aroma. The combination with the crispy wafer creates a full-bodied, less sweet taste.

Matcha chocolate is a confectionery product where green tea powder (matcha) is blended with chocolate. White chocolate is most commonly used as the base, as its creamy and sweet flavour pairs well with the earthy notes of matcha. However, varieties with milk or dark chocolate also exist.
The flavour is a unique combination of sweet and earthy. You taste the creaminess of the chocolate, followed by the distinctive, slightly grassy, and somewhat bitter taste of matcha. The exact flavour depends on the ratio of chocolate to matcha and the quality of the ingredients used.
