How to enjoy Yakitori with Sake to enhance it even more.
Yakitori donburi and sake are truly a supreme combination. The fresh chicken used in Torikai's yakitori donburi is grilled slowly over charcoal, resulting in a perfect harmony of savory and juicy flavors. Sake is an essential ingredient to enhance the flavor of this yakitori.
Sake and yakitori go well together because they are both ingredients with a strong "umami" (flavor). The sweet and spicy taste of yakitori sauce and the aroma of the charcoal fire are perfectly matched with the sharp flavor of sake. In particular, light junmai sake and slightly dry sake, with its acidity and umami, tones down the rich flavor of yakitori, creating a perfect balance in the mouth. The lingering taste of sake also enhances the aftertaste of the yakitori, making the next bite even more enjoyable.
Take a bite of the yakitori bowl and take a sip of sake. At that moment, the synergy of food and sake will give you a new taste sensation. The pairing of Torikai's yakitori donburi and sake is truly an exquisite collaboration.
