KFC Japan has introduced a new product called the Kenta Rice Box, which features its Original Recipe chicken with teriyaki sauce, topped with shredded cabbage and takikomi gohan rice. Takikomi gohan is a traditional Japanese dish made by cooking rice with various seasonings or ingredients, infusing the flavors into the rice. The chicken used in the Kenta Rice Box is KFC's signature Original Recipe, seasoned with herbs and spices.
The rice is made with chicken broth, giving it a meaty flavor that complements the fried chicken. While the Kenta Rice Box is not a large portion, it is significantly bigger than a snack and can serve as a meal. The design of the box is meant to be eaten with chopsticks, but the unconventional shape makes it a bit challenging to eat with utensils.
Using a spoon is recommended for a better experience. The Kenta Rice Box is currently available in select KFC Japan branches in Tokyo and the prefectures of Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, Osaka, and Hyogo. Prices vary by region, ranging from 690 yen (US$4.35) to 930 yen for the combo with a drink.
