🇯🇵 Did You Know?

Yakitori (焼き鳥) literally means "grilled chicken." Bite-sized pieces of chicken are skewered on bamboo sticks and grilled over charcoal, often seasoned with shio (salt) or tare, a sweet-savory soy-based glaze. Although it's one of Japan's most famous comfort foods today, yakitori became especially popular after World War II and remains a favorite at festivals, izakayas, and neighborhood food stalls across Japan. 🍢🐦
