Japanese Yakitori Chicken
( 焼き鳥 )
Yakitori is a Japanese type of skewered chicken. The preparation of Yakitori involves skewering the meat with kushi,
a type of skewer
typically made of steel, bamboo, or similar materials. Afterwards,
they are grilled over a charcoal fire.
A cold beer and a few skewers of yakitori – charcoal grilled chicken – is an evening ritual for many of Japan’s weekday warriors. Nearly every part of the chicken is on the menu, all grilled to perfection, seasoned with either shio (salt) or tare (a sweet soy sauce-based sauce) and served with a side of friendly banter.
