Imabari Yakitori
Imabari-style yakitori does not use skewers. Chicken is laid out on a heated iron plate and pressed firmly from above with a heavy, handled iron weight known as a 'press.' As it sizzles with a pleasant sound, the skin becomes crispy and fragrant while the inside remains juicy. It is said that around 1961, the owner of an Imabari shop called 'Gomidori' started this method, inspired by teppanyaki he saw in Osaka. The concept of 'fast, cheap, and delicious' perfectly suited the impatient, efficiency-oriented nature of Imabari's merchants, causing it to spread throughout the town in no time. The traditional way to enjoy it is to start with the famous skin and finish with 'Senzanki,' a type of fried chicken.
