FamilyMart celebrates 20th anniversary of Famichiki with new flavors

FamilyMart is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its signature boneless fried chicken product, Famichiki, with a series of special releases. To mark the milestone, the convenience store chain will launch three limited-edition ‘Adult Famichiki’ flavors: Smoky Pepper, Sesame Sansho, and Pizza. These flavors are designed to pair well with alcohol and offer a more sophisticated taste profile.

The new flavors will be released sequentially at approximately 16,500 FamilyMart locations across Japan starting September 29, 2026. Additionally, the company is reviving its ‘Famichiki at Home Set’ via its online store for the first time in five years, which includes frozen chicken and frying oil.

Actor Kotaro Yoshida attended a promotional event for the anniversary, expressing his appreciation for the product. During the event, the Japan Anniversary Association officially designated October 17, the original launch date of the product, as ‘Famichiki Day’.
