Christmas in Japan weirdly conjures up thoughts of KFC and fried chicken to those both in the country and further afield thanks to the fast food chain’s enormously successful ‘Kurisumasu ni wa kentakkii!’ (‘Kentucky for Christmas!’) marketing campaign way back in 1974. The campaign soon garnered momentum and now every year outlets around Japan serve up a Christmas dinner menu including festive barrels filled with a selection of fried and roasted chicken, salad, cake and even Champagne!
