Yakitori (焼き鳥) literally translates to "grilled
chicken". It's a popular Japanese drinking food. It also makes
regular appearances at festivals and events.
Yakitori is bit-sized food on skewers that's grilled over charcoal. It's a common food in Japan — there's a Yakitori-ya (Yakitori restaurant) in every major neighborhood. Here's a list of the 18 most common types of Yakitori.
ippon — one stick
nihon — two sticks
sanbon — three sticks
yonhon — four sticks
The server will ask you if you want "shio" or "tare" flavor. Shio is salty and tare is a sweet sauce similar to teriyaki sauce.
