Suki: TOKYO STREET FOOD
IN MARIN.

Yakitori grilled over Japanese charcoal, at parties across Marin and every other Thursday at the San Rafael farmers market.

The grill table at the end of the garden path: two stainless binchotan grills on a navy cloth, an uchiwa, tongs, and a pot of tare with a brush
Close up: binchotan glowing orange under white ash in the grill
焼き鳥YAKITORIyah-kee-toh-ree
Chicken on bamboo skewers, cooked over coals. Yaki means grilled, tori means bird.

備長炭

WE BRING THE FIRE.

Binchotan is Japanese white oak charcoal. It burns hot and clean, so all you smell is the yakitori. We set up on your patio and clean up after the last skewer.

タレ

WE MAKE THE TARE.

Tare is the sweet soy glaze brushed on yakitori as it grills. Every shop keeps its own. Ours is made from scratch.
