SFBay: Where can I get green tea Kit Kat on the Peninsula?

My coworker keeps brining these from Japan when he visits, and I'm am hopelessly addicted. I'm hoping readers with familiarity with the Asian Markets on the peninsula / south bay will have seen a store that sells these.

Bonus points for stores that have any other (non-us) flavors.

Response by poster: Sigh: "I'm am". I haven't had coffee or green tea Kit Kat yet this morning. Forgive me.

Best answer: I've seen them on and off at Mitsuwa, Nijiya, and Suruki (in San Mateo), I think your best bet is to call each and see if they've got them.

Best answer: Some flavors are seasonal, so you may have to wait (the only interesting flavor at Nijiya in Mountain View yesterday was "otona" -- "adult" -- which is a bittersweet chocolate). And shipments may be delayed right now. Either way, if they don't have them right now, try again in May, June, or July.

this doesn't really directly answer your question. but if you're super desperate there are people on ebay that sell a big variety of japanese kit kats. but i've been in the same position as you and that's what i had to resort to.

Response by poster: Yeah, I'd rather not mess around with eBay for anything. I've led a relatively eBay-free life so far, and I'm really okay with that. But it's good to know for future reference.
