Japan’s KFC 2025 Tsukimi Series: A Celebration of Egg-Lovers’ Dreams
Japan’s KFC has once again ignited excitement among food enthusiasts with its 2025 “とろ～り月見” (Torori Tsukimi) series, a seasonal lineup celebrating the autumn moon-viewing tradition.
Launched under the bold “Humanity’s Egg-ification Plan,” this campaign introduces four limited-edition menu items and an exclusive “Triple Tsukimi Burger” available at select locations. With a focus on rich, eggy flavors, KFC’s latest offerings combine creativity, indulgence, and Japanese culinary flair, making it a must-try for egg lovers and fast-food fans alike. Here’s a detailed overview of the series, its highlights, and the buzz surrounding it.
The “Humanity’s Egg-ification Plan” Concept
KFC Japan’s 2025 Tsukimi series is anchored by the whimsical “Humanity’s Egg-ification Plan,” a playful campaign emphasizing the joy of egg-centric dishes.
To bring this concept to life, KFC appointed popular Japanese comedian Nakayama Kinnikun as the Chief Tamago Officer (CTO), whose infectious enthusiasm for eggs is showcased in a humorous promotional video. The campaign also features actor Kento Kaku in a lively TV commercial, dressed as Colonel Sanders, heralding the arrival of the moon-viewing season. This creative marketing, combined with innovative menu items, sets the stage for an unforgettable culinary experience.
The Star of the Show: Triple Tsukimi Burger
The standout of the 2025 Tsukimi series is the Triple Tsukimi Burger, a decadent creation exclusive to seven select KFC locations from August 20 to September 2, 2025. Priced at ¥990, this burger pushes the boundaries of indulgence with three layers of fried-egg-style omelets paired with 1.5 times the usual amount of tartar sauce.
The result is an explosion of creamy, eggy goodness, complemented by KFC’s signature crispy chicken and fresh shredded cabbage. Available only at stores in Sapporo, Sendai, Ebisu, Nagoya, Namba, Hiroshima, and Tenjin, this limited-time offer is a pilgrimage-worthy treat for dedicated egg enthusiasts. Social media reactions on platforms like X praise its “over-the-top egginess,” though some note its hefty portion may require a drink to balance the richness.
The Core Tsukimi Lineup: Four Egg-Centric Delights
Beyond the Triple Tsukimi Burger, the main Tsukimi series, available nationwide from August 27, 2025, includes four meticulously crafted items, each highlighting the rich, creamy texture of eggs:
- Torori Tsukimi Japanese-Style Chicken Katsu Burger with Extra Tartar (¥590 standalone, ¥1,000 set, ¥1,300 deluxe set)
This flagship item features a crispy chicken katsu coated in a savory soy-based teriyaki sauce, topped with a fried-egg-style omelet and a generous 30 grams of tartar sauce. Fresh shredded cabbage adds a crisp contrast. Reviewers on Japanese food site Mamaten laud the harmonious balance of sweet teriyaki and creamy tartar, though some note its substantial size may be challenging to eat single-handedly. - Torori Tsukimi Cheese Filet Burger (¥540 standalone, ¥950 set, ¥1,250 deluxe set)
A classic choice, this burger combines a juicy chicken filet with melted cheddar cheese, a fried-egg-style omelet, and creamy mayonnaise, all nestled in a hearty whole-grain bun. Bloggers like Ikitai Rinsh praise its robust texture and rich cheese-egg synergy, though some question the ¥70 price premium over the standard filet burger. - Torori Tsukimi Twister (¥480 standalone, ¥890 set, ¥1,190 deluxe set)
A lighter option, the Twister wraps a chicken filet and fried-egg-style omelet in a soft tortilla with crisp lettuce and mayonnaise. Food media outlet Gourmet Watch highlights its smooth, satisfying texture, making it ideal for a quick snack or light meal. - Mochi Custard Tsukimi Pie (¥300 standalone)
This dessert combines flaky puff pastry with creamy custard and chewy mochi, offering a sweet, Japanese-inspired finish to the meal. Reviewers on Tabelog describe it as “delightfully comforting” with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
Marketing and Promotions: Engaging Fans Nationwide
KFC Japan has amplified the Tsukimi series’ appeal with engaging promotions. From August 21 to 22, “Area Tamago Officers” (ATOs) dressed in adorable egg-themed costumes will visit the seven stores offering the Triple Tsukimi Burger, creating a festive atmosphere.
Additionally, a Follow & Repost Campaign on KFC’s official X account (@KFC_jp) runs from August 20 to August 26, offering 200 lucky participants a ¥1,000 KFC digital gift card. These initiatives, combined with the star power of Nakayama Kinnikun and Kento Kaku, have sparked widespread excitement on social media and food blogs.
Why It Matters: A Cultural and Culinary Event
The Tsukimi series is more than just a fast-food menu; it’s a celebration of Japan’s moon-viewing tradition, reimagined through KFC’s innovative lens. By focusing on eggs—a beloved ingredient in Japanese cuisine—the series resonates with local tastes while offering a fresh take on seasonal dining.
Whether you’re drawn to the indulgent Triple Tsukimi Burger or the sweet simplicity of the Mochi Custard Pie, this lineup promises something for every palate. With limited quantities and select availability, now is the time to join the “Humanity’s Egg-ification Plan” and savor this egg-tastic autumn adventure.
