Christmas Eve is thought of as a romantic day, in which couples spend together. Before KFC became popular, they used to eat their own traditional food at home.Like sushi, ramen,tempura, sashimi, miso soup, sake, mochi.Then everything was changed. The couples began to dine out. Now, fried chicken is often eaten on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day. KFC restaurants are very full at this time of year and people order months in advance for this. Very surprising situation! A US-based food chain is becoming a new habit in a country like Japan that is very attached to its traditions.
