So there I was looking for something to do after a dinner outing. I rang the usual suspects, but most were already settled and/or sleepy, so I had resigned myself to going straight home. Then I get this random text message, “Are you at Imanas?” No, I say, I am not at Imanas, but I could be. So after flip floppin’ a bit I decide to go there for a beer. Well, Okay not Imanas, my friends were at Kohnotori!
So I order a draft beer, and disgruntledly ask if they have the kawa (skin). The previous 5 times I’ve asked this question had been met with a negative response. But this time the waiter dude says YES. LAST ONE!
I immediately order that last skin.
Words cannot describe how wonderfully tasty and how wonderfully salty this preparation is. It was totally incredible! No wonder it is such a popular item.

Finally!
Bastard!
You know, I was walking through the basement food level this past weekend… was it in Marui-Imai? Parco? I can’t remember… anyway, the dude at the yakitori stand had this big rice-bag sized plastic bag of SKIN and was skewering it in preparation for grilling!
BTW, that’s a really nice picture!
