    Yakitori. Specifically looks like negima. I don’t know where you can go in Manhattan

    If you Google map “izakaya” you’ll be spoilt for choice

    Torishin or Toribar are my go to places.

    Yakitori, go to yakitori Totto. That is negima specifically.

    Chicken and leek yakitori. Highly recommend yakitori totto for exactly these skewers!

    High end: Kono, Torien, Torishin Select

    Mid tier: Torishin, Yakitori Totto

    Izakaya: Toriba, Toriya, Nonono

    I don’t think there are others worth mentioning tbh.

    Kono is the best but $$$. Torishin hasn’t been as good since he got his own space. Yakitori Totto for something more casual

    Back when I lived in NYC Village Yokocho was a great place for this, but I believe they closed a while back.

    It’s not Japanese but Osamil has great skewers in KTOWN

    It looks like a yakitori. Maybe negima yakitori. I am not in Manhattan but I eagerly to learn more.

    Just go on google maps and search Yakitori, Manhattan has no shortage. In Brooklyn closer to me, Waku Waku at Japan Village/Industry City has a great izakaya yakitori selection. NONONO in midtown is a fancier upscale yakitori experience that is very nice.

    That’s negima, which is a skewer of chicken thigh and green onion cooked over charcoal. You would find it at a yakitori (chicken charcoal bbq) restaurant or an izakaya (Japanese pub). I’m sure there would be plenty of options in Manhattan. It’s fucking delicious, due to the chicken smoking itself as its fat drips onto the Japanese smokeless charcoal known as binchotan.

    Most places that serve yakitori will give you a choice between tare and shio on each skewer. Tare is a thin black sauce similar to teriyaki (soy sauce, sugar, and mirin or sake to thin it), that the chicken is dipped into a few times while it’s cooking, and shio is literally just salt. Tare makes every skewer taste fantastic, but shio is nice if you want to really appreciate the flavours of the items on the skewer.

    Torishin if you want to go fancy (reservation is a must), I haven’t been for 5-6 yrs, not sure how they are now. Yakitori Totto is more casual.
