YAKITORI FLAVOUR

There are two main kinds of yakitori flavours – tare (タレ, soy-flavoured sweet sauce) and shio (塩, salt).

Tare is made of soy sauce, mirin and sugar, with or without sake (Japanese rice wine). It is made by mixing these ingredients and condensing it into a stronger flavour and thicker sauce. When grilling, you baste the sauce onto the meat.

Shio flavour is made simply by sprinkling salt over the meat when grilling.

Most of the chicken parts listed above are great with either tare or shio flavour
