They turn out terrific food on this wood grill in the middle of a small restaurant with about 20 seats around the bar.  fun watching them handle the burning wood.

    Was there in '68 while in SE Asia in the Navy.  Is the New Otani Hotel still around?  Great little bar overlooking the peoples park.

    In the meantime for those of us not there here is a recipe that Nature Boy (Dizzy Pig) posted many years ago. 
    Believe his wife is from somewhere in the Orient.

    Marinade, Poultry, Soy, Yakitori Style, Nature Boy

    A simple marinade for chicken. A nice balance of sweet and salty. We liked this better than most of the other more complicated marinades I have posted in the past. Dang. Sometimes simple IS best.

    INGREDIENTS:
    4 Tbs Soy Sauce (a japanese sauce works best. I used Kikoman)
    2 Tbs Sherry
    2 Tbs Sake
    2 Tbs Sugar
    1 Tbs Honey
    1 tsp your favorite pepper. Or to your tastes.
    1 tsp Sriracha Chili Sauce (optional), or your favorite heat
    1 Shallot
    1 Clove of garlic (optional)

    Preparation Directions:

    1. Finely chop the shallot, and crush the garlic if using it.

    2. Sauté the shallot in a bit of peanut oil until transparent, then add the garlic and cook until onion just starts to turn golden.

    3. Reduce to low heat, and add remaining ingredients. Stir until sugar is desolved.

    4. Remove from heat and cool.

    Cooking Directions:

    1. I used this with cubes of chicken thigh meat for kabobs. The chunks were marinated for a few hours, then skewered and grilled at 325-350 direct until well browned (about 20-30 minutes while flipping).

    2. Should work well on all sorts of chicken pieces.

    Special Instructions:

    1. For a finishing sauce, lightly boil the remaining marinade, add a little hoisin and ketchup and cook until it starts to thicken. Brush on during last 10 minutes of cooking.

    Servings: 1

    Recipe Type: Marinade

    Awesome.  Went to the Tsukiji Fish Market at 6 am every day for a walk thru and breakfast during 2 business trips a couple years ago.  Some colleagues thought I was nuts, but it was the experience of a lifetime.  (karoke bars at night didn't suck either . . . long days in conference rooms were tough, tho!)

    Enjoy!  And pls post more pix!

    Heading out to Tsukiji when we come back on Wednesday.  I want to go now but it's a long trip to Hiroshima and we want to be there for sunset.  It's a spectacular day here today.  Will post lots of pix.  Peace.

    Have a blast.  Be advised that the market is closed on a bunch of Wednesdays -- I found out the hard way after 2 wonderful raw fish breakfasts on a Monday and Tuesday.  There's a bunch of stall-type places pretty close by . . . not quite the same atmosphere as walking thru the active market, but very, very good nonetheless.  

    Can't wait to see the pix and read the story of your adventure!
