I visited Japan for the first time in March 2023 and discovered a Yakitori restaurant owned by two Koreans in Osaka, near our hotel, Wellstay. The restaurant’s name is YumeTori. This experience sparked a new obsession with Yakitori, leading me to purchase a Japanese grill from Kama-Asa and have it shipped to the States to start learning how to make it, even the Tare (Sauce). To this day, it remains my favorite meal to prepare when I’m in the mood for grilling.
Looking through all my photos now I realize I don’t take many photos once the food is done as I am either serving or eating.

    Bravo, nicely done! I’m a long time eater of it, but am just now starting to get into it myself. I’ve got skewers and the proper charcoal on deck.

    I love eating rice with my yakitori too but my Japanese friend told me that it was weird

    Looks amazing! I’m tempted to buy one of those yakitori grills! I was checking out their website a couple of days ago!

    Fellow yakitori aficionado here…does anyone have a point of view on the Yak grills vs the Kama-Asa ones? Yak is cheaper and seems legit…

    Negima is a favorite of mine.

    Pro tip: you might know this already, but negi isn’t the same as the green onion we have in the US.

    I started getting the real thing at H Mart and it makes it so much better. It’ll be labeled negi, Japanese bunching onion, or Welsh onion. It’s a little bigger than green onion.
