Yakitori typically refers to the broader category of kushiyaki<\/em>, or skewered meats and vegetables. For Fukuokans, yakitori<\/em> restaurants are not only places for group parties and dates; they take their families there to enjoy the casual atmosphere. Another unique feature of Fukuoka yakitori<\/em> shops is the butabara<\/em> (pork belly). While it’s second nature for locals to start with an order of butabara<\/em>, it is not typically served in other prefectures. Another mainstay is the fresh cabbage, which comes topped with a lip-smacking dressing of lemon, vinegar and light soy sauce and is replenished as requested. At Hachibei\u2019s Shoninbashi-dori shop, you can enjoy a wide range of yakitori<\/em> in a sophisticated, modern atmosphere. The central grill here serves as a stage, where you can enjoy watching the chefs preparing your yakitori<\/em> and then see the skewers cooked over high-grade binchotan<\/em> charcoal. Popular menu items include the deep-fried green pea skewers and the wagyu sukiyaki<\/em> skewers.<\/p>\n
