Yakitori


Last night I went to a yakitori restaurant for dinner. I ordered the chicken yakitori set meal which meant I didn't have to do too much faffing around when I ordered.

Yakitori is basically the Japanese equivalent of satay -- bits of meat (and other stuff) on wooden sticks which are grilled over charcoal. Unlike satay you don't get any peanut sauce, but I did have a miso sauce for dipping.

I have no idea whether the yakitori I had was good by Japanese standards, but I thought it was o.k. I think I had pretty much every single part of a chicken and certainly some of the things were good which I'd never have ordered individually myself (i.e chicken liver).
