Salted or with a sweet tare glaze, Japanese style Yakitori always hits the spot.
And Japanese style grilled chicken skewers are Nanbantei of Tokyo's specialty. Choose from a variety of bite-sized skewers of chicken meat, or go for the whole package with their impressive Nanbantei Special...
Start with a refreshing Kani Salad (P 195), fresh greens topped with kani, nori, tobiko and sweet mangoes in a tart strawberry mayo dressing. The greens are crisp with clean flavors, punctuated by the sweet dressing and subtle flavors of the shredded crab sticks. The dressing delivers bold yet balanced flavors, with the richness of the creamy Japanese mayo contrasting with the tart strawberries. As your orders are being grilled, grab a cold beer...
Nanbantei of Tokyo's Yakitori Special (P 850), an impressive platter with twenty-one sticks of assorted grilled chicken skewers, including crisp Kawa (chicken skin), Leba (chicken liver), and Bonjiri (chicken tail)...
...and Tebasaki (grilled chicken wings)...
...Hatsu (chicken heart)...
...Negima, tender chicken meat with leeks...
...and Tsukune, or grilled chicken meatballs. A full Yakitori feast with a variety of skewers in both shio or plain salted, or glazed in the distinct tare sauce, a traditional yakitori glaze made with mirin, soy sauce, sake, and sugar. Start with the richly flavored Kawa or salted chicken skin, with crisp layers blending with tender and buttery chicken skin. The shio or salt enhances the rich notes of the chicken skin, bringing out full flavors in every bite. Various grilled chicken offals, like Bonjiri (chicken tail) and Leba (liver) provide a medley of distinct flavors, all simply seasoned with shio, or salt. The salt does not overpower the grilled meat, allowing you to taste the pure and clean flavors, like the Tebasaki (wings) and Negima (tender chunks chicken with leeks). The delicately flavored and tender chicken is given a flavorful punch with the tare glaze, adding a layer of sweetness to the juicy and smoky Tsukune (chicken balls) and Hatsu (heart). Each skewer offers unique flavors, and Nanbantei of Tokyo's Yakitori Special allows you to enjoy all these flavors in one dish. Perfect with a cold beer.
Nanbantei of Tokyo also offers a full range of grilled beef, pork, and seafood skewers for even more options. And to round out your feast, go for some Ebi Tempura (P 350), plump shrimps coated in a light and crisp batter to complete your Japanese meal. Best paired with steamed white rice or Japanese fried rice, or as is with a cold beer.
A refreshing Coffee Jelly (P 120) caps your meal with a sweet and refreshing note. Authentic Japanese flavors on a skewer, perfectly grilled everyday at Nanbantei of Tokyo. Hungry?
