As autumn approaches in Japan, the food industry turns its focus towards the seasonal tradition of \u201cTsukimi<\/strong>\u201d (\u201cMoon-Viewing<\/strong>\u201c) with elements that pay homage to the exceptional beauty of the harvest moon. The most common practice is to embellish meals with a fried egg<\/strong>, due to its visual resemblance to the full moon, and one of the best examples of this every year is at KFC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year, the chain says it will be enhancing the \u201ctorori\u201d (\u201cmelty\u201d) texture of the egg to emphasis the \u201cegginess\u201d more than ever before, with five products to choose from.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first item vying for our attention is the Tsukimi Cheese Filet Burger (<\/strong>540 yen [US$3.66]), a mainstay of the series that\u2019s said to be meltier than previous versions.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Also returning this year is the Tsukimi Twister <\/strong>(480 yen), with teriyaki sauce and egg yolk sauce in addition to the fried egg and chicken, and the Omochi Custard Tsukimi Pie <\/strong>(300 yen), which contains rich, melty custard cream and a chewy mochi (glutinous rice cake) filling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

New for this year is the \u201cTamago Tappuri Tartar\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cTartar with Loads of Egg\u201d), which adds extra egginess to the fried egg and Japanese-style chicken cutlet that\u2019s been soaked in a secret soy sauce-flavoured teriyaki sauce.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another new addition to the lineup is the \u201cTriple Tsukimi Burger<\/strong>\u201d, which takes \u201cegginess\u201d to the next level with three gobsmacking layers of fluffy, fried-egg-style omelettes and 1.5 times more tartar sauce, presenting a true treat for diehard egg fans.<\/p>\n

Priced at 990 yen, this quarter-dozen egg burger will only be available at the following seven stores:<\/p>\n
