Kirin Koiwai KW LAB Probiotic

Another product in Kirin's i-Plus series is Healthy Adult Yogurt 大人が元気ヨーグルト, which contains 400 mg of ornithine オルニチン and the KW LAB probiotic strain. KW has a general intestinal condition activity and ornithine is an amino acid which Kirin has been pushing due to studies showing enhanced fatigue recovery. This combination of intestinal health and fatigue recovery are considered to be more appealing to adults (and by extension the elderly). This product is the result of a collaboration between Kirin, its amino acid and ingredient subsidiary Kyowa Hakko and its dairy product subsidiary Koiwai. キリン 協和発酵 小岩井 KW乳酸菌

Golden Citrus Blend KitKat

This KitKat is sold exclusively in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions and supposedly uses citrus fruits from the same regions. The flavor is a balance of Onshu Mikan, Lemon and Sudachi citrus fruits (温州みかん, レモン, すだち). Sudachi is a special Japanese citrus variety and Onshu Mikan is a variety of mikan named after a city in China. This variety might have originally been mistaken as having been derived from China, but DNA evidence shows that it actually originates from Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan instead. The name 柑橘黄金 translates as Golden Citrus. ネスレ、キットカット
