For this yakitori, I’d gladly fly to San Diego ten more times! 😋

Just unearthed a gem in SD: Yokohama Yakitori Koubou. One bite and I thought, “How can it be this good?” I’d had mind-blowing yakitori in Kyoto and assumed I’d never find anything close—this place is only a hair behind and hits every craving ✨ Every skewer shocked me. Chicken liver: char-kissed outside, inside like savory custard—zero irony, pure umami ☁️. Gizzard: snap-crackle-crunch, the more you chew the more fragrant. Wings & thigh: lacquered in tare, glossy, juice-bombs that demand finger-licking 🤤 Non-chicken MVPs: pork belly blasts smoky fat that somehow isn’t greasy; beef tongue, thin-yet-plump, crisp-tender, but limited to one order per person—savor each slice like gold 😭 Only tiny miss: the stew skews salty unless spooned over rice—no big deal 😅. Shock finale: a mountain of skewers barely cracked $100. Best-value treasure hunt ever 👏 Heads-up: phone reservations only—book or bust! #YakitoriHeaven #SanDiegoEats #HiddenJapaneseGem #SkewerAddict #WeekendFeastGuide #BangForYourBuck #WorthTheFlight 🥳
