🍢 Boston's Top Tier Yakitori: Worth the Trip (Even if It's Not Downtown) When Good Yakitori Makes Distance Irrelevant Tucked away from downtown, this spot proves Boston's yakitori game is stronger than you think. Thick glazes, perfectly charred skin, and a potato salad that deserves its own menu—here’s why it’s my go-to for Japanese skewers. 🌟 The Three Rules of Yakitori Perfection (Order These Now) The Glaze: Bold Flavor Without Overpowering Chicken Skin Skewer 🔥 Crispy, fatty, and lacquered in a sweet-savory tare sauce. Bite into crackling skin that gives way to gelatinous goodness—umami overload in the best way. Chicken Thigh Skewer 🥩 Juicy thigh meat with a charred exterior, sauce. Subtle yuzu pepper finish cuts through richness. The Side That Steals the Show: Japanese Potato Salad Creamy mashed potatoes mixed with egg, crunchy onions, and tangy pickles—sweetness balances the salty skewers. Pro tip: Order a large to share (or hoard for yourself). Takeout Worth the Wait Even after an hour, skewers stay crispy (they pack sauce separately). Perfect for nights when leaving the house feels like a trek. 📍 Deets & Tips Address Needed!：Help a foodie out—drop the location in comments if you know! Order Like a Pro：3-4 skewers + potato salad + ramune soda = $30-40/person feast. Offal Adventure：Try chicken liver or cartilage—no gamey taste, just tender or crunchy goodness. 🌟 Why This Is Boston's Yakitori Gold Standard Homemade Tare Sauce： simmered for hours, with deep caramel notes—no bottled sauce here. Grill Mastery：Skin is blistered but not burnt, meat stays juicy (magic, honestly). Thoughtful Extras：Takeout comes with wet wipes and gloves—because they know you’ll get messy. 🎯 Final Advice for Yakitori Lovers If driving, order extra potato salad for the ride home (trust me, it’s addictive). Pair with Asahi beer to cut through richness—classic Japanese pub vibes. Bring a friend who won’t judge you for ordering 5 skewers each (we’ve all been there). #BostonYakitori #JapaneseStreetFood #HiddenGemBoston #FoodieApproved
