    I remember watching Chef Atsushi Kono in the Omakase and prime time series. Using the part that's usually thrown out is such a great idea because not only is it cheap, it is also delicious and can introduce many people to things that maybe they have not tried yet. It's great to see chef Atsushi again and see the progress since the last time he was shown

    The impression I got when I ate his food before was exactly the fusion of Zen and dance.

    @nicholascrow8133 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I do not wish to take anything away from this chef with my comment. I feel that the serving style is nearly as important as the chef's skills. By having each component of the bird served separately, the nuances of the different pieces is allowed to shine, above say a roasted whole bird. That said it takes a chef with the skills, knowledge and understanding to execute the concept, I'm definitely putting a yakitori joint like this on my bucket list!
    In otherwords, like any great chef, this guy fully understands the qualities of his product and how to get the very most from it.

    I don’t drink. Idk why or how, but one day, I started hating the taste of alcohol. Anyways, in a lot of izakayas/yakitori places in Japan, they require you to order at least 1 beer or alcohol when you sit down. My cousin warned me about it. But she loves drinking. I’ll just pass her mine when we do go one day. 🤣
