KFC Karaage Specialty Shops

Kentucky Fried Chicken entered Japan in 1970 and built a market many others thought impossible. After all, the Japanese had their own traditional way of frying chicken, called karaage (bite-size fried chicken pieces seasoned in a variety of ways). Now KFC is using their special seasoning to go after the karaage market also. They have opened 2 stores in Tokyo and one in Yokohama specializing in karaage. These karaage come in 4 seasonings: original KFC special seasoning, extra spicy, soy sauce flavor, and sesame seed/garlic flavor. Very interesting move. 唐揚げ ケンッタキーフライドチキン

Morinaga Kraft Sernik Cheese Cake

Kraft, which goes through Morinaga in Japan, has introduced a cheese cake flavored processed cheese product in the familiar 6 piece, individually wrapped portion boxes. This is part of a series where they are bringing tastes from around the world to Japan. This product is based on the Polish cheese cake called sernik and has an apple and honey flavor. In Poland, sernik is make from a fresh cheese called twarog, but I assume reproducing that aspect in Japan would be impractical. クラフト 森永 チーズケーキ
