🇯🇵
the last yakitori we went to this trip was the chataro, a shop which is known for their use of different origins of chicken for each cut, as well as a mix of duck and its innards rather than just chicken in its course.
this was my least impressed one of the three, taisho seems to prefer the use of high and strong fire for his grills which made the room quite smokey and stuffy, but on top of that some items were burnt or overcooked. pieces were also rather large in size so we were pretty stuffed by the end of it without having any of the rice courses. wasn’t fond of most the tsumami, i liked the tataki and fried breast in dashi but was particularly disappointed with the overcooked and dry chicken drumstick with cheese which is one of their signatures. with the skewers, it got a bit overwhelmingly smoke heavy with a burnt taste towards the end of the course, especially with the tsukune and quail egg. but enjoyed some pieces in the start like the breast and particularly the duck breast lining. also really loved their lemon sour and variety of citrus sours like mikan and kumquat. a good try, but not my favourite.
