Yakitori originated in Japan during the middle of the Meiji Era. In street stalls, they began to serve this delicious dish in a skewer grilled in charcoal. This dish is served best when paired with soju or alcoholic beverages and with friends and family.

- 1/4 cup Mirin
- 2 long white onions cut 1 inch white part long pieces
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Procedure:
- The first step is to soak the bamboo skewers in water for about 25 minutes so that it won’t burn easily when grilling.
