Next to Mister Donut is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whenever I come here, I always end up stopping by Mister Donut while waiting. This time, I ordered the Chicken Filet Burger set and a 4-piece chicken. It's been a while since I had the Chicken Filet Burger, but I thought the chicken inside was smaller than I remembered.笑

As of November 6, 2021, KFC has resumed regular operations. I came here to reconcile with KFC, which had stopped allowing customers to choose chicken parts and was in a state of estrangement. I don't usually eat original chicken, but I used to eat it regularly in the past. I would think, "It's so rich in flavor!" and after eating it once, I would be satisfied for a while, but after a few months, I would start craving it again. However, it was all about the skin and fat. Since I couldn't choose the parts anymore, I have been avoiding taking the risky gamble and only eating when I was invited, choosing pieces with lots of skin. But I love biscuits, so I came to KFC hoping to find something else on the menu that looked delicious. I generally prefer chicken with skin, and pork, beef, or horse meat with plenty of fat, but I sometimes eat chicken nuggets or Karaage, so I decided to try the Chicken Fillet Sandwich, which seemed similar. When I went to the register, I saw that there was a Kenta Lunch available until 4:00 PM. Since it was a Saturday, I asked if I could still order it, and they said yes. I felt like I saved 100 yen! Of course, I didn't forget to add the biscuits I came for. Chicken Fillet Sandwich Set (lunch price 600 yen): I thought, "I hope it's not something else like thigh meat..." but it was indeed breast meat. It was tender and not too dry. The mayo-like sauce was delicious, and I thought it would be great if they offered a thigh meat version even if it was a bit more expensive. It was a well-balanced and tasty burger. The lemonade soda was quite sour. On this day, I didn't choose it, but I like that the cola is Pepsi, as I prefer Suntory's green tea. I wonder if a Japanese-style chicken cutlet would be more juicy due to the sauce. I hesitated a bit on what to order, but next time I'll try the Japanese-style chicken cutlet. The potatoes were slightly thick and fluffy. I ate them while adding a little mayo sauce. Biscuit (230 yen): I've loved it since I was a child. I generally prefer sweets with a lot of moisture and oiliness, such as jelly or Financier, but I like the powdery texture of these biscuits. They are fragrant, and I can smell them before eating. I love the crispy feeling, especially when I moisten them with maple syrup. It has a scone-like deliciousness. I haven't eaten original chicken in a while, but I came to KFC after a long time... It's time to stock up for Christmas. I'm curious about the Twister, so I might try it next time. Even if I don't stick to the original chicken, there are other delicious options, so I feel like I can come back anytime. Well, to be honest, I'd like to eat the original chicken again after a long time. I would buy a box, so if someone could eat all the skinless pieces for me (laughs). After refreshing myself with a walk to Atotsu, I found that Karaage Sakura was closed. I was curious about the wording of the notice posted there. Writing something like that makes me wonder if there was some trouble. Next to it, a new store was under construction, and Yakitori Charlie had become course-only, showing various changes. Oh, and Yuki Matsudumplings was also under construction, or rather, on this day, there were still people in the store, creating a chaotic situation where it was unclear if they were selling or under construction (laughs). I really want to go back to Yakitori Charlie, so it's a shame that it's become course-only. I prefer to eat only what I like, and my eating habits vary greatly from day to day, so courses are not suitable for me... Still, it was good to go there at least once.

Original Chicken 6-piece pack for 1790 yen. It's pronounced as "Itouzu". I always thought it was "Shimizu". Ate Taiwanese castella at Sushiro and then went to KFC Itouzu store for drive-thru. Ordered a 6-piece pack with 2 coleslaws and 1 potato side. Showed my membership card and got 800 chicken miles (700 for shopping + 100 for visiting). Paid with my transportation card. Never been to the Traffic Park. Enjoying my meal with a chu-hi while watching "Alice in Borderland". The chicken is as delicious as always. Thank you, Colonel Sanders! He would have been 130 years old this year if he were still alive. Amazing!

I've never used the drive-thru at this restaurant, as I'm not very good at driving and worry about causing inconvenience to the staff. I usually park at the neighboring shopping center "Acros Plaza Itozu" and visit here while shopping at the supermarket "Alk". I enjoy chain restaurants like McDonald's, Mister Donut, and Häagen-Dazs, but I don't frequent KFC as much due to the high prices and strong flavors. However, I do like to get KFC for takeout, especially when enjoying a beer at home. The fact that this location is combined with Mister Donut allows me to buy breakfast for the next day while also getting a snack for my evening drink. Please excuse the poor quality of the chicken photo, but for KFC, I don't think it matters much as you can always find better pictures on their official website or commercials.

◉Genre: Fried Chicken, Potato, Burger ◉Area: Itazuke, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: 15-20 minutes by car from JR Yahata Station ◉Parking: Available ◉Credit card payment: Not available ◉Number of visits: 5 times or more ◉Number of reviews: 1st visit On this day, I casually visited "Kentucky Fried Chicken Itazuke Store." ◇Exterior and Interior: Similar to last year, I purchased for the kids. The exterior looks just like a Kentucky store. The interior is divided like a Mister Donut store. You can dine in, take out, or use the drive-thru. ◇Seating: Two 4-person tables and two 2-person tables. ◇Menu: They have the familiar menu and limited-time menu for New Year's. I ordered the following: - Original Recipe Chicken 7 pieces (1720 yen) → It's 250 yen per piece, but it's more cost-effective to buy a set or multiple pieces. This summer, I bought 7 pieces. The taste is the classic flavor we all know, with hints of various spices and that crispy skin we all love. ◆Strong Points: Surprisingly, everyone, adults and kids alike, enjoy it. ◆Service: Average. ◆Summary: Last year, I had to wait a bit, but this year it was smooth. The counter was filled with what seemed like pre-ordered Kentucky party buckets. Overall, Kentucky Fried Chicken never fails to satisfy. Thank you for the meal.

I will omit the evaluation for chain restaurants. This is a well-known fried chicken specialty store. When you think about it, there are only a few chain restaurants that focus on meat, like KFC, VOLKS, and Ikinari Steak. The reason for choosing a chain restaurant that I don't often visit is because they have parking and you can eat spicy food (you can tell the level of spiciness). This time, I visited in search of the Red Hot Twister. I ordered the Red Hot Twister BOX, which includes the Red Hot Twister, potato, medium drink (I ordered cola), custard cream pie, and boneless chicken. All of this for 870 yen is a great deal. The Red Hot Twister is a fairly spicy chicken with a spicy and tangy sauce. It's a classic flavor. The potato is twisted. The boneless chicken has a classic taste, with a crispy coating. When taken home, it becomes slightly moist. The pepper seasoning is a nice touch. The custard cream pie has a crispy crust and a not too sweet custard cream filling. It plays a supporting role. The cola was purchased for takeaway. Thank you for the meal.

On my way home from Dazaifu, my child wanted something spicy to eat. We happened to be passing by a nearby place, so we decided to stop. We ordered nuggets and cola for takeout. I also had some nuggets in the car. They were meaty and flavorful, so I like them more than McDonald's.

Kentucky Fried Chicken at the Toyotsu location is combined with Mister Donut, which is a great point because you can enjoy both. However, the store is small, so it's better to use the drive-thru or take-out option. This time, I purchased the Original 2-piece, Soy Sauce Chicken 2-piece, and Crispy Chicken 2-piece. The smell when bringing it home is irresistible! The Soy Sauce Chicken has a savory soy sauce aroma that stimulates the appetite. The crispy skin and juicy chicken meat are just perfect. The lingering spicy aftertaste is also great. This is delicious! The Original Chicken and Crispy Chicken are both undeniably delicious. Kentucky, I love it so much!

Drive-thru or takeout might be recommended. It's a combined store with Mister Donut, but there are few seats and it's not very relaxing. The building is located within the premises of "Across Plaza Itozu." Even if you can't park at KFC, you can park at Across. I purchased the lunch set C that my family asked for and a ginger ale for myself. If you answer the survey through the QR code on the receipt, you can get a discount coupon.
