Yakitori
Yakitori are Japanese-style grilled chicken skewers most commonly grilled over Binchotan charcoal. Bite-size pieces of chicken, including the giblets, are held together by a bamboo skewer and served hot, right off the gill. Although Yakitori is literally translated as “grilled chicken”. Other type of skewers, using other meats or vegetables, exist as well.
Binchotan
Binchotan charcoal is an essential aspect of Japanese grilled cuisine. The charcoal is a traditional charcoal of Japan, made from oak. Its uniquely low burning temperature along with the fact that it does no release smoke or unpleasant odours creates the perfect grilling conditions for Yakitori.
