The possibilities for changing the flavor of Yakitori
are endless. Common Japanese spices that can enhance the flavor of Yakitori
are shichimi and sansho (Japanese pepper).
Shichimi is a mixture of chili pepper, sesame, citrus peel, poppy
seed oil, cole seed, hemp seed and sansho. This hot spice is indispensable
for those who like chili dishes. This spice goes perfectly with sauce and confines
the fatty taste. With this in mind, it is recommended that you use this spice
with chicken meat balls, skin or any other fatty Yakitori dishes.
Sansho has a refreshing flavor and increases the appetite. It constrains
the fatty taste just as shichimi does, and its unique flavor eliminates the fishy
smell associated with some Yakitori. This refreshing and spicy flavor maximizes
the taste of Yakitori.
In addition to the above, chili pepper and wasabi or horse radish are also
used to add flavor to a Yakitori dish. Although Yakitori is basically
served with a secret sweet soy sauce or salt, we hope you discover your own favorite
Yakitori flavor by adding and experimenting with additional spices. With
just a pinch of spice, you will experience an acquired taste. |
