The fried chicken franchise that sparked the venerated Japanese tradition of eating fried chicken for Christmas is opening a limited-time Christmas-themed restaurant in Roppongi this December. You heard that right: KFC is launching a pop-up ‘restaurant’ for the first time, featuring a mouth-watering arrangement of ‘classic Christmas staples’ such as truffle sauce fries and vanilla ice biscuit sandwiches (yum).
The pop-up will also serve hearty restaurant dishes such as five herb roast chicken and mashed potatoes (¥1,900), barbecue chicken with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables (¥1,900) and various chicken pasta dishes. You can pair your meal with sides such as smoked salmon coleslaw salad (¥500) and chicken tenders (¥1,500).
What truly sets this pop-up apart as KFC’s first ‘full-fledged restaurant’, as they claim, is its extensive wine selection curated by distributor Enoteca. The menu even highlights recommended pairings for each dish, with glasses starting from ¥1,000.
Since reservations aren’t accepted, arrive early or be prepared to queue.
