Mitsui Outlet Park Jazz Dream Nagashima 三井アウトレットパーク ジャズ
ドリーム長島
Nagashima Spaland's famed outlet shopping mall has recently been extended to
accommodate 240 stores, making it the largest outlet mall in Japan. It houses many
famous overseas luxury brands and selected popular domestic stores at cheaper
prices than you'll normally find.
Open year round: shops (10:00 - 20:00), restaurant area (11:00 - 21:30), food
court (11:00 - 21:00; from 10:30 on weekends).

This “tradition” can be traced by to the moment in 1971 when a group of
home-sick foreign residents wandered in to a branch of KFC after deciding
that fried chicken was the next-best alternative to turkey. The branch
manager picked up on it as a sales idea and in 1974 KFC ran their first
nationwide Christmas campaign. From there it grew and the run-up to
Christmas now counts for a fifth of KFC's annual sales.
In 2011 turkey is still hard (but not impossible) to get hold of. Even then,
most fridges and ovens in Japanese homes are not big enough to cope with
roasting a bird and storing the inevitable leftovers. So why not try making
your own fried chicken this holiday season?
