The biscuits are crafted with fermented butter (AKA cultured butter), which has been sourced from Hokkaido and kneaded into the dough before being baked. This is reported to provide a fragrant, flavorful taste that is further enhanced with crispiness on the exterior of the biscuit. The KFC Japan Premium Biscuits maintain a moist, fluffy profile on the inside and comes with a [maple honey sauce](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hardees-maple-biscuits) to be drizzled overtop for a touch of sweetness. The biscuits are priced at 230 yen each and will only be around for a short while.
