Under US$2! Skewered Chicken (Yakitori) Taste Test at Japan's Convenience Stores!
For those of you who don’t know, yakitori is a traditional Japanese snack in which charcoal grilled chicken is placed on a skewer. It is a popular food item in Japan, sold by yakitori shops and izakayas (Japanese bar and grill) as it’s said to go especially well with alcohol. With varied parts of the chicken used such as momo (thigh meat), kawa (skin), and harami (meat from the diaphragm), and a choice between shio (salt) or tare (a type of soy sauce) for flavoring, there are a multitude of types to choose from. In this article, we are going to introduce the types of yakitori you can buy at the heated food section next to the register at convenience stores such as 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson, all for around US$1.50!
