The origins of Yakitori can be traced back to the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868). Chickens were not commonly consumed as a main meat source until later, so early versions might have used other fowl or even wild birds. As poultry farming became more widespread, chicken became more accessible, leading to the evolution of Yakitori as we know it today.
Funzionalità Premium
Yakitori holds a significant place in Japanese food culture, often enjoyed in casual settings like izakayas (Japanese pubs) or at festivals.
Izakaya Staple
Yakitori is a common offering in izakayas, where it is paired with beer or sake, providing a social and enjoyable dining experience.
Festival Food
Yakitori stands are frequently found at Japanese festivals (matsuri), offering a quick and delicious snack for attendees.
Variety and Craft
There's great pride taken in the precise grilling technique and the variety of cuts and flavors available, showcasing the chef's skill and creativity.
Funzionalità Premium
Yakitori boasts a savory umami flavor profile, often balanced with sweetness and saltiness.
The main flavor components come from the chicken itself, which is often marinated in a soy sauce-based sauce called 'tare.' Tare typically includes soy sauce, mirin (sweet rice wine), sake, and sugar. Additional flavors can be added through different cuts of chicken, such as the thigh, breast, skin, or giblets, each offering a unique texture and taste. Seasonings like salt, pepper, and shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven-spice blend) further enhance the overall flavor.
Funzionalità Premium
Proper Skewering
Ensure the chicken pieces are evenly spaced on the skewer to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
Grilling Technique
Use medium-high heat for grilling, and turn the skewers frequently to prevent burning and ensure even cooking. Basting with tare during grilling enhances the flavor and creates a glossy finish.
Quality Ingredients
Use high-quality chicken and fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Consider using binchotan charcoal for authentic flavor, if possible.
