FamilyMart’s fried chicken – also known as Famichiki by fans – has a devoted following. It's often regarded as one of the best snacks from any Japanese convenience store. The boneless fried chicken is usually offered in two flavours, original and spicy, but one of the most popular limited-time flavours has now made a comeback.

Cheese In Famichiki (¥198), which was a hit when first released back in March 2020, is now back on shelves nationwide. It has rich and creamy cheddar cheese inside a piece of FamilyMart original fried chicken, so it oozes out as you bite in. Pair it with the Famichiki bun (¥88) slathered with tartar sauce and even add some of your favourite veggies to make a real meal of it.

This cheese-filled Famichiki is currently available at all FamilyMart outlets nationwide.
