The frozen charcoal-grilled yakitori I ordered just arrived. This package contains 50 skewers, each weighing 35 grams. That’s a lot!

This product contains very few food additives, which is reassuring.

Here’s how it looks inside. Even frozen, it has a nice charcoal aroma.

Line a skillet with parchment paper for easy cleanup, but this step is optional.

Arrange the frozen yakitori skewers in the skillet. No need to preheat the pan. Keep it simple!

Drizzle sake evenly over the yakitori. This helps keep them juicy and brings out a great aroma!

Cover the skillet with a lid.

Now turn on the heat. Set to medium. Keep it at medium heat until they’re done.

Wait about 2 minutes. Adjust the time as needed based on your stove to avoid burning.

Remove the lid. The sake should be bubbling and smell wonderful.

Flip the yakitori skewers. They won’t be browned yet at this stage.

Cook for another 3 minutes. If they start to burn, lower the heat.

Flip the skewers again. They should be starting to brown nicely.

Cook this side for about 2 more minutes.

Flip once more. They should have a perfect golden color now!

Finish by cooking for about 1 more minute.

They’re done! The charcoal aroma is just like at a restaurant.

Plate the yakitori and serve. Thanks to the sake, they’re juicy and aromatic. They’re delicious as-is since they’re already well-seasoned.
