Christmas and Convenience Store Chicken in Japan
While people overseas might associate Christmas with turkey, Japan has a unique, decades-old tradition of eating fried or roasted chicken. Fried chicken, in particular, is an incredibly popular staple on the Christmas menu.
During this time of year, many specialty shops and restaurants are inundated with reservations. However, convenience stores, found all across Japan, are highly valued as places where people can easily purchase quality chicken without needing a reservation. This sale is a wonderful opportunity to get an early taste of the festive flavor at a great price, right before the peak Christmas season kicks off.
Five Types of Chicken are on Sale!
The sale includes five distinct types of chicken, each with its own unique character. Here’s an introduction to each one.
Nana-Chiki
Price: 223 yen (240.84 yen including tax)
Nana-Chiki is one of the most popular and classic fried chicken items at 7-Eleven. It’s crafted to let you fully savor the umami of its thick and juicy chicken meat. The batter is light and crispy, complementing the natural deliciousness of the chicken. If you’re trying Japanese convenience store chicken for the first time, this is a can’t-miss choice.
Age-dori
Price: 223 yen (240.84 yen including tax)
“Age-dori,” as the name implies, is a Japanese-style fried chicken, similar to the traditional dish “karaage.” It is characterized by its perfectly crisp batter and a simple, salt-based seasoning. Unlike karaage, which often has a strong soy sauce and garlic flavor, Age-dori has a lighter taste that allows the juiciness of the chicken to shine through.
Zaku-Chiki (Alluring Savory & Spicy)
Price: 223 yen (240.84 yen including tax)
Zaku-Chiki is a fried chicken with a bold personality in both its texture and flavor. True to its name, it has a uniquely “zaku-zaku” (extra-crunchy) bite that is instantly addictive. The seasoning is “uma-kara”—a savory and spicy flavor profile that’s more than just hot, with a deep umami taste. It’s highly recommended for anyone who loves spicy food.
Special Nana-Chiki (Bone-in)
Price: 352 yen (380.16 yen including tax)
This special “Nana-Chiki” uses bone-in thigh meat, perfect for getting into the Christmas party spirit. It’s seasoned with 11 different spices, and the flavor that comes from the meat around the bone is simply exceptional. The combination of a light, crispy coating and juicy meat creates a truly special experience.
Sumibiyaki Roast Chicken Leg (Charcoal-Grilled Roast Chicken Leg)
Price: 556 yen (600.48 yen including tax)
A distinct departure from fried chicken, this is an authentic roasted chicken leg. Its key feature is a bone-in chicken thigh that has been slowly grilled over charcoal for a rich, smoky aroma. It is finished with a special soy-based sauce, creating a sweet and savory flavor reminiscent of “teriyaki,” a beloved taste in Japanese cuisine that is sure to whet your appetite. You can also enjoy the plump and tender texture of the meat.
Easily Experience a Taste of Winter in Japan
This sale is the perfect chance to experience the high quality of the “hot snacks” culture offered by Japanese convenience stores. If you choose different varieties to share with friends and family, you can compare all the different flavors at once.
Whether you’re taking a break during a busy trip or just feeling a bit peckish, why not embrace the Japanese winter with a piece of warm, delicious chicken?
