焼き鳥 (yakitori) is a popular Japanese dish consisting of skewered and grilled chicken. The chicken is typically seasoned with salt or a savory sauce called tare, which is made from soy sauce, sake, and sugar. Yakitori can be made from various parts of the chicken, including the breast, thigh, and even organs like liver and heart, offering a range of flavors and textures. This dish is commonly enjoyed at izakayas, which are casual Japanese pubs, and is often served with a side of shichimi spice for added flavor. Yakitori is not only a favorite among locals but has also gained popularity worldwide, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of Japan.
