Okay, hear us out, KFC just released a new flavour, and it’s honestly not something we expected. It’s called the Japanese Yuzu Series, and after trying it… this might be one of their most refreshing drops ever.
Instead of the usual spicy or cheesy stuff, this one hits with citrusy Yuzu, a bit of tingly Sansho pepper, and this creamy Japanese Yuzu mayo that ties everything together.
So what exactly is in this Yuzu thing?
Two main ingredients:
Japanese Yuzu — gives that bright, tangy, refreshing citrus flavour.
Japanese Sansho pepper — aromatic, slightly peppery and that tiny tingle on your tongue.
Together… it’s like someone added a zest boost to your fried chicken.
Not overpowering, not weird, just surprisingly balanced.
What can you order?
There are two main items:
Japanese Yuzu Crunch
Your OG KFC crunch, but coated in Yuzu + Sansho flavours and topped with Yuzu mayo.
Comes in:
- 2-pc combo
- 3-pc combo
Japanese Yuzu Burger
Zinger fillet with the same Yuzu-Sansho blend, plus veggies, cheese and the mayo inside a sesame bun.
Comes in:
- Burger ALC
- Combo
- Box Meal (yes, burger + chicken = the ultimate “I want everything” set)
If you cannot decide, just take the Box Meal lah. Safe.
How does it actually taste?
Imagine this:
First bite = zesty and bright
Middle = crispy + creamy
Aftertaste = tiny peppery tingle
It’s not spicy-spicy, more like “oooh what’s that little kick?” Really refreshing, especially if you’re bored of the usual heavy flavours.
Is it worth trying?
Honestly… yes. It’s one of those limited-time flavours and you’ll regret not tasting it when people talk about it later.
Plus if you’re into Japanese flavours, this one hits that vibe without being too extra or too gimmicky.
Where to get it?
Everywhere. Dine-in, delivery, KFC App, up to you, so don’t wait too long.
