Imabari Yakitori
Grilled chicken cooked on a hot iron plate without skewers

About Imabari Yakitori

Yakitori is typically skewered and grilled over charcoal flames, but Imabari Yakitori (今治焼き鳥) offers a unique twist. Instead of using skewers, it is boldly pressed and grilled flat on a large iron plate, giving it its distinct character.

This pressing technique drains excess oil while locking in juiciness, resulting in chicken that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Enjoy it with your choice of flavorful sauces. Popular options include “Kawa-yaki” (grilled chicken skin) and “Senzanki” (marinated and fried chicken).
