Things are looking pretty sweet for fans of fried chicken and Japan\u2019s citrus stars<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Japan\u2019s summer is feeling a little lacking in its Japanese-ness in some ways this year<\/a>, but it\u2019s set to get a little boost in that regard from the unexpected source of KFC<\/strong>. Later this month, the Kentucky-born, big-in-Japan chain will be releasing a pair of new Japanese-Style Summer Burgers<\/strong>, or, if you\u2019re really getting into the Japanese-style spirit, the Natsu no Wafu Burgers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n First up is the brand-new Negishio Lemon Chicken Filet Burger<\/strong>. The \u201cchicken fillet\u201d part is something you can probably already envision, but negishio<\/strong> refers to a kind of traditional Japanese sauce\/dressing made from diced green onion (negi), salt (shio<\/em>), and sesame oil. The lemon sauce<\/strong> here has a Japanese aspect to it too, as KFC sources the fruit it uses from West Japan\u2019s inland sea-adjacent Setouchi region, which produces some of the finest citrus fruit in the country<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The other Japanese-Style Summer Burger, the Chicken Nanban Fillet Burger<\/strong>, is making a return to KFC\u2019s menu after its debut last summer. Chicken nanban is a dish that originated on Japan\u2019s southwestern island of Kyushu<\/strong>, taking inspiration from the cooking styles brought over by Portuguese traders during Japan\u2019s feudal era. The key ingredient is a creamy tartar sauce-like condiment with sour accents from vinegar and, in the case of KFC\u2019s Chicken Nanban Fillet Burger, a citrus infusion.<\/p>\n Even the sides and drinks are getting a shot of Japanese citrus flavor, with a new Salty Setouchi Lemon powder to shake onto KFC\u2019s French fries<\/strong>\u2026<\/p>\n \u2026and a natsumikan mandarin orange lemonade soda<\/strong> that gets its oranges from Wakayama Prefecture<\/strong>, among Japan\u2019s best mandarin growers.<\/p>\n The Japanese-Style Summer Burgers are priced at 540 yen (US$3.75) each, the fries with Setouchi lemon powder at 320 yen, and the Wakayama mikan soda at 300 yen. They all go on sale July 16 and will be available for a limited time.<\/p>\n Source, images: PR Times<\/a><\/em> Things are looking pretty sweet for fans of fried chicken and Japan\u2019s citrus stars.
