Why cooks start here
Negima Yakitori is cooked the way yakitori-ya cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a japanese family cook actually puts it on the table.
Originating from the bustling streets of Japan, Negima Yakitori is a cherished staple found at yakitori-ya, where the aroma of grilling skewers fills the air. Traditionally enjoyed as both a casual street food and a comforting home meal, it brings together family and friends around the table with its simplicity and warmth. This dish offers a delightful interplay between the tender, juicy chicken thighs and the sweet, onion-like flavor of negi. The tare glaze adds a rich umami depth, while a sprinkle of shichimi provides a subtle kick, balanced by the judicious use of fine sea salt. Each skewer is a perfect harmony of flavors, inviting you to savor each bite.
