About Yakitori

Yakitori is a popular Japanese dish consisting of bite-sized pieces of chicken skewered on bamboo sticks and grilled over charcoal. The chicken is usually seasoned with either a savory-sweet tare sauce made of soy sauce, sake, sugar, and mirin, or simply salted to enhance its natural flavors. Yakitori often includes a variety of cuts, such as thigh, breast, wings, or even offal like liver and heart, offering different textures and tastes. Originating in Japan, it’s a staple at izakayas (Japanese pubs) and street vendors. Yakitori is a good source of protein and can be relatively healthy when consumed in moderation, especially if accompanied by vegetables or lighter seasonings. However, certain cuts are higher in fat, and the tare sauce can add sugar and sodium. Opting for salt-seasoned or leaner cuts can make it a more health-conscious choice while still delivering delicious smoky flavors.
