“It looks like we’re getting a new burger straight from KFC Japan, the Wafu Cutlet Burger.
“I found this out because if you head to the secret menu on the KFC app, like I do every day, you can sign up for a waiting list.
“And apparently KFC might get in touch with you – which is an interesting way to launch a burger, to say the least.
“Anyways, I do happen to speak a little Japanese and I looked on KFC Japan’s website and it looks like this burger has a crumb chicken patty with teriyaki sauce, mayonnaise and cabbage, which are all pretty traditional toppings for chicken katsu.
“Who knows if I’ll get to try it out early? But I’m keen to see it come over regardless.”
In the video, the KFC fan also shared vision of the sign-up page that KFC has included on its Secret Menu page.
It reads: “It’s submerged in teriyaki sauce just before serving. Which is probably why it’s one of KFC Japan’s most iconic burgers. Interested? Send us your details and we might be in touch.”
