Nagato Yakitori
With one of the highest ratios of yakitori shops to population in the country, Nagato City is renowned as a 'town of yakitori.' In this fishing community, byproducts from seafood processing supported poultry farming, and tradition says that women waiting for their husbands to return from sea started these shops, rooting the yakitori culture in the area. The characteristic Nagato style involves skewering meat alternating with onions instead of green onions, served alongside shredded cabbage. Connoisseurs enjoy tasting local breeds like Choshu Kurokashiwa simply seasoned with salt. For the citizens, it is a daily soul food and a flavor loved by the entire town. Beyond the fragrant smoke, the rich food culture of Nagato lives on vibrantly.
