This one is called "Negima". "Negi" means onion, and you can see two pieces of onion between the three pieces of chicken.
This is also "Negima", but this is seasoned with salt. As you can imagine, this has a lighter taste.
This is "Tsukune". This is similar to a hamburger steak and is made of ground meat.
This is "Liver". As the name suggests, it is grilled liver of chicken.
Yakitori goes very well with sake.
And this sake has 16% alcohol and is made in a prefecture called Toyama.
Today let me introduce a Japanese dish called "Yakitori". It is basically pieces of chicken pronged by a skewer. We have it on many occasions, for an ordinary dinner, on a birthday, at a party, but all in all we have it at a Japanese bar. Of course it also goes well with beers, but usually people have it with sake (Japanese liquor). And there's also a restaurant called "Yakitoriya", and it only serves yakitori and alcohol.
Yakitori is so widespread that people can buy some at a stall like this , and it is also sold at a supermarket. Some of you might know the anime Lucky Star, and in the episode 1, Konata and her friends say that people don't like to have the last one piece of yakitori on a dish( they start to talk about it in the video at 5:30) When we order it at a bar, they serve several yakitori on a dish. People have it one by one, but when there are 5 yakitori on a dish and 4 people are at the table, they would hesitate to have the last one. That's what Konata was talking about, which actually happened to me before.
I think not all Japanese dishes aren't favored by foreign people, but i think this yakitori can be enjoyed by people from many countries.
