Izakaya Yakitori Spread with Pork Belly and Shishito
Recreate an evening at a Tokyo izakaya with a spread of small skewers, each served on its own plate. Salted chicken thigh, glossy pork belly, blistered shishito peppers, sweet cherry tomatoes and sticky tare-brushed wings arrive hot from the grill one after another.
Test kitchen note: Season half the skewers with just salt and brush the rest with tare. Tasting both styles side by side is the heart of yakitori.
