- Written by: Krys Suzuki
Christmas is just around the corner, which means if you haven't already, it's time to start thinking about Christmas dinner! And if you're spending Christmas in Japan this year, that probably means one thing - fried chicken!
Fried chicken has become the beloved holiday staple in Japan, with hundreds of families pre-ordering Christmas chicken meals every year. And with so many people staying indoors this year, you can expect that number to increase even more.
Here are three places you can reserve your Christmas chicken meal today!

bb.q Olive Chicken Cafe
bb.q Olive Chicken Cafe is Korea's leading fried chicken brand, with over 2,500 locations in 25 countries around the world. Thanks to their recent popularity boom, they also plan to expand to 19 locations in Japan by the end of the year.
What makes this chicken so popular? Each piece is seasoned with imported original spices and perfectly replicates an authentic Korean taste. It is also fried in olive oil and contains no cholesterol, making it a great healthy option that doesn't skimp on flavor. And this year, you can reserve a Christmas BOX to bring that deliciousness home for the holidays!
For a happy, healthy holiday, why not indulge in some Korean fried chicken from Bb.q Olive Chicken Cafe?

Tokyo Karaage Shop Agetate
Virtual restaurants (VR) and online food delivery services have also boomed in the wake of the pandemic. One such popular shop is Tokyo Karaage Shop Agetate.
Tokyo Karaage Shop Agetate is an online delivery service specializing in fried chicken, which also claimed first place in a national survey (conducted in October of this year by the Silmil Research Institute) asking Japanese women for their top recommended fried chicken brands.
Not only is this virtual restaurant a popular poultry pick, but it's also the leading brand on Neighborhood Kitchen, a platform food delivery service in Japan that delivers restaurant-quality foods fresh to your home.
People love this chicken not only its flavor, but its size and presentation, as well. For a prize-winning chicken dinner this year, why not place an order with Tokyo Karaage Shop Agetate?
