Yakitori and Chicken dishes Course
Course Content
This two-week intensive course is designed for those who want to open a yakitori restaurant in their own country. Yakitori is a common Japanese dish and it seems easy to cook, but it requires profound knowledge and extensive practice to be a first-class yakitori chef, as the common saying goes, “Three years in skewering and a lifetime in grilling.”
In the first week, the students will learn how to use tools, the names of chicken sections, how to make sauce, how to grill chicken, and how to skewer it. In the second week, the lecture will cover the method of opening a yakitori restaurant, developing a menu including both yakitori and other dishes, and selecting sake and other alcoholic beverages to increase sales, along with an internship at a restaurant.
