Duck Heart Yakitori

Yakitori is a Japanese dish which literally means skewered grilled chicken. However, there are many variations of Yakitori and whole restaurants in Japan dedicated to the dish. It is cooked over charcoal and usually special charcoal called “binchotan” which burns very hot. All parts of the animal are used to make yakitori, heart, liver, cartilage and skin along with the meat is skewered, cooked and glazed with a citrus soy sauce. When I was in the north part of Japan near Sapporo I even had deer yakitori. Wild game hearts are often over looked and can be saved to make this great dish. Duck, goose and upland game birds are perfect to grill and serve yakitori style.
