In Japan, there has been a custom of admiring the moon since ancient times.
It started when aristocrats drank sake and sang songs while gazing at the moon,
By the Edo period (1603-1867), it had spread to the common people, and by that time, it was autumn time when rice could be harvested,
It is said that by that time, it had become a kind of celebration to express gratitude for the safe harvest of rice.

This custom is called “月 tsuki = Moon” and “見　mi = Look.

This is a common image of tsuki-mi.

The custom is to make offerings of dumplings, silver grass, and farm products to the moon.
However, I have never really given thanks to the moon for the harvest,
I look forward to the various limited-edition foods associated with tsukimi at this time of year.
I don’t know how long it has been around, but tsukimi = eggs (probably because eggs are associated with the moon).
McDonald’s, KFC, Mos Burger, and other companies are competing fiercely with each other for limited edition products using eggs.

Today, I had KFC’s tsukimi, which was started first

Tsukimi Cheese Fillet and Tsukimi Twister
（I was so excited to see the newest addition to the KFC lineup, the Tsukiji Twister. It is wrapped in a kind of burrito dough).

The key point of Kentucky’s moon-viewing series seems to be the melting yolk of the egg.
Both are sandwiched together with Kentucky chicken and taste just as you would imagine,
The taste was satisfying without sacrificing that Kentucky flavor that I sometimes crave.
They also come in a package that you don’t usually see, so you can enjoy a little something special.

I once met a fast food fanatic who said he had a collection of these wrappers.
It seems that the wrappers of McDonald’s hamburgers and other items change with the times, and there are old ones as well as limited editions,
I was very impressed by the way he cleaned the wrappers after eating and put them away with great care.
