Arrived at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

In the upper right corner of the menu, you can see 'Furi Furi Crispy (Butter Soy Sauce)' and 'Furi Furi Crispy (Sesame Oil Fragrance Seaweed Salt)'. Both are 320 yen per piece, tax included.

So I bought three each of 'Furi Furi Crispy (Butter Soy Sauce)' and 'Furi Furi Crispy (Sesame Oil Fragrance Nori Salt)' and brought them home.

Here's what's inside the bag: a box of Colonel Crispy treats and a paper bag with frilly spices.

Colonel Crispy is exactly the same as the regular one.

This is the 'Furi Furi Spice (Butter Soy Sauce)' and the paper bag.

The instructions on how to make it are written on the back of the paper bag.

If you check the ingredients of 'Furi Furi Spice (Butter Soy Sauce)', you will see that it contains powdered soy sauce, sugar, butter powder, etc.

Calories are 7 kcal per bag. Kernel Crispy is 119 kcal per piece, so 'Furifuri Crispy (Butter Soy Sauce)' is 126 kcal.

Place one Kernel Crispy snack into a paper bag.

In addition, 'Furi Furi Spice (butter soy sauce)' is added.

Shake shake.

Here's what I took out after shaking it for about 10 seconds. The spices were evenly distributed on the surface of the batter.

Colonel Crispy is already seasoned enough as is, so adding 'Furi Furi Spice (Butter Soy Sauce)' makes it even more flavorful. 'Furi Furi Spice (Butter Soy Sauce)' has a butter-like taste that is a mix of sweetness and saltiness. Since Colonel Crispy itself is garlic soy sauce flavored, it tastes more like butter has been added rather than butter soy sauce. The crunchy texture and sweet and salty taste also make it taste like a snack food.

Next, I will try 'Furi Furi Spice (sesame oil scented seaweed salt)'.

The ingredients include powdered sesame oil, salt, green laver, powdered soy sauce, red pepper, and seaweed.

The calorie content is 6.8 kcal. Together with the Colonel Crispy it is 125.8 kcal.

Put Colonel Crispy and 'Furi Furi Spice (seaweed salt scented with sesame oil)' in a paper bag and shake it.

Finished. It looks like deep-fried seaweed.

It looks like a Japanese style seaweed fried food, but the taste is similar to Korean seaweed, with sesame oil, salt, and seaweed. Like the 'Furi Furi Crispy (Butter Soy Sauce)', it has a very strong flavor, so it is recommended to eat it with other foods and drinks.

The price of 'Furi Furi Crispy (Butter Soy Sauce)' and 'Furi Furi Crispy (Sesame Oil Scented Seaweed Salt)' is 320 yen including tax. In addition, you can also get Furi Furi Spice by itself, and both 'Furi Furi Spice (Sesame Oil Scented Seaweed Salt)' and 'Furi Furi Spice (Butter Soy Sauce)' are 30 yen including tax.
