Yakitori, means grilled chicken, originates from Japan and is a hit in many countries inclydung Korea. This shop in Gangnam called Yakitori Uezu serves very special yakitori, with many kinds of chicken parts which can be barbecued. Usually yakitori store is a bar style dining area for workers to dine in after work, so most people will eat them with some beer. There are other menu as well such as pork, vegetables even rice. Generally yakitori shops open till midnight so most people will treat this as the second shop as snacks after dinner. #2023travelwish #tripblazers
