When they grill it too much, the delicious fat drains away and the meat gets tough.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s a bit of a drawback. Also, the place gets so lively and crowded that eating out with everyone isn&#8217;t as enjoyable as you&#8217;d think it would be.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s just how it is.<br \/>\nSo today I really wanted to eat chicken (I love okonomiyaki the most, but that got vetoed), so<br \/>\nI headed to the yakitori place from my past rankings \u2606 Of course, the number one spot near the old racetrack! \u266a<br \/>\nWhen I called, they were packed and couldn&#8217;t seat anyone, but a well-run shop is different!<br \/>\nThey said they&#8217;d prepare a table and call me back shortly.<br \/>\nAfter I gave them my name and number, they called back a few minutes later saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s been a while! We&#8217;re ready for you now, so we&#8217;ll be waiting for<br \/>\nyou.&#8221; Ah, they remembered me\u2014this chicken fanatic! That made me so happy.<br \/>\nSo right away \u266a The three of us\u2014me, mjshachou, and the boss\u2014had our first dish, and I was blown away by the liver! This is it!<br \/>\nThe liver here is something else\u2014it&#8217;s so plump and chewy! \u266a No gaminess at all, it&#8217;s the best \u2606<br \/>\nThe amazing experience kept going, and I really felt that this place is definitely number one.<br \/>\nWhen you go out to eat with me, please set the heat to &#8220;low, medium, or high.&#8221; The higher you go, the more the table fills up, so be careful!<br \/>\nI was so blown away that I actually fell asleep in the bath.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s been happening a lot lately. I&#8217;ll be careful not to drown.<br \/>\nPokidam<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I happened to notice something interesting on a cooking show the other day.
