Now, let's get into the food part. Basically, yakitori is a dish of skewered grilled chicken. The different parts of a chicken, such as breast, liver, skin, thighs, all come into play in a yakitori preparation. The tender fleshy chicken is sagged in barbeque sauce and is grilled at the fumes of hot charcoal. Gulping it down with a glass of cold beer is sure to satisfy your taste buds. The skewers are dipped in `shio' or salt and a sweet sauce named `tare'. Taste of yakitori served by these drop-in barbeque stands may vary, depending on the quality of tare and the charcoal. The better-off yakitori-ya restaurants use aromatic charcoals that add to the taste.

Yakitori is a dish, which, like many other dishes, must be served hot. The hotter it is, the better it tastes. Foodies are always looking to grab the skewer right out of the griller. But if you go by the custom, you should eat it with your hands.
