Yakitori Skewer is a popular Japanese dish featuring bite-sized pieces of chicken grilled over charcoal on bamboo skewers. Traditionally seasoned with either a savory tare sauce—a blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar—or simply sprinkled with salt, yakitori offers a smoky, umami-packed flavor. Variations can include chicken organs or vegetables for added variety and nutritional benefits. Lean proteins in chicken make this dish a healthy option for those seeking muscle-building nutrients, while grilling reduces the need for added fats. However, the tare sauce may contribute additional sugar and sodium, making moderation key for heart health and balanced nutrition. Usually served as part of Japanese izakaya cuisine, yakitori can be enjoyed as a snack or paired with rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
