This was recommended by our hotel at Ishibekoji Muan - I am so glad we asked for yakitori recommendations! I was pleasantly surprised by the shark fin and egg, then the chicken … mousse … over fried potato.
We began with the chicken thighs, and this truly set the stage for a strong meal. It was tender and succulent, and the skin had a nice crisp and fattiness that carried the two pepper condiments incredibly well.
This was followed by the neck, then heart.
The grilled veggies didn’t have the same charcoal smokiness, but perhaps this was intentional as it was a welcomed break between yakitori courses.
The chicken soup was absolutely delightful. It was mixed with soy milk, and contained yuba and chicken, likely rendered tender with cornstarch slurry. If you ever were curious about how 锅边 tastes like, this is it.
At this point, we went off the menu and selected the tail, thighs, cartilage, and liver. Id probably rank them in that order too. The tail was incredible, a wonderful balance of cartilaginous meat.
I’d absolutely recommend this restaurant!
