New York | Yakitori Totto 🍖

Today, I checked out a yakitori spot in New York. The shop is tiny, but the moment you step in, it feels like you’ve been transported to a bustling Japanese street. It’s full of life and warmth. 🔥 🍗 Chicken Offal Skewers: The chicken gizzard and heart skewers were perfectly cooked. The gizzards had a slightly charred exterior but were still crispy inside, not tough at all. The hearts had a nice chewiness but were tender, with a delightful crunch. There was no offal aftertaste, which was really nice. 🍗 Chicken Thigh Skewers: These were coated in a slightly sweet sauce and grilled to a beautiful char. Like the drumsticks, they were juicy and tender, bursting with flavor when you bite into them. Although the chicken had a slight dumpling filling-like texture, it was still super tasty. 🥬 Grilled Okra: A great palate cleanser! Simply seasoned with salt, these skewers let the natural aroma of the vegetables and the unique texture of okra shine through. 🐚 Scallop and King Oyster Mushroom Skewers: These were amazing! The scallops had their own unique sweetness, while the mushrooms were full of juice. Together, they created a symphony of flavors on the taste buds. 🌟 #NewYork #Yakitori #JapaneseStreetFood 🌇🌟
