Since we are all different unique individuals born in different raises and have different cultural beliefs, Japanese have also different ways in celebrating their Christmas Eve. Do you wonder how Japanese people celebrate their Christmas? Now I’m going to tell you their little secret. Long time ago, there was a fast food chain restaurant that offer their fried chicken as their best recipe for everybody. This company had been known for their quality and crispy chicken that they offer to their entire customer. The company was primarily based in Louisville, Kentucky U.S.A and in the year 1974, Kentucky Fried Chicken was known to all Japanese and love since then.

KFC focus on providing quality food products to all of its valued customers and offer different variety of food from wraps, salads, sandwiches, roasted chickens and on top of them all is their crispy fried chicken which had been grown into so many flavors these days like “hot and spicy KFC fried chicken” that comes in every bucket meal. With the birth of KFC in Japan, it had been a part of the Japanese National Custom to eat fried chicken on Christmas within 3 days from December 23, 24, and 25 of Christmas Eve. This kind of tradition had made KFC one of the leading fast food chains in Japan among other competitors like Mc Donald’s.

According to the survey, the sales of KFC within 3 days during Christmas season is just as equal to half a month of sales in an ordinary day. There had been instances sited that during this 3 days period of eating fried chicken, KFC Restaurant can no longer accommodate the numerous number of people coming in and out just to order their favorite KFC fried chicken. Main reason why Japanese people love to eat KFC fried chicken during Christmas season is the strong impact of the longed advertisement campaign saying “At Christmas you Eat Chicken”. This advertisement campaign had never been change since the first time the KFC Restaurant had started all over Japan.
