WHERE TO EAT The best Hatsu yakitori in the world (according to food experts)

"We’ve been returning to Yosaku over the years for its simple, no-fuss grilled skewers. In particular, we love the juicy chicken heart skewers, a specialty of the shop."

"From getting the chicken from the very best suppliers around Japan to cutting and dividing the chicken into numerous crazy cuts you probably never have heard of before, they do this in a way only Japanese chefs are capable of. There is a massive amount of different cuts and the heart and is just the tip of the iceberg of more and more skewered and cuts."

"The menu features an anatomical chart depicting all the edible parts of the chicken available on the day—generally between 30 and 40 cuts. The grilled hearts were little flavor bombs."

This second-floor Midtown Japanese restaurant (popular with the business crowd) specializes in skewered meats, cooked up on a grill in front of you, Benihana-style. For the culinarily adventurous there are chicken hearts."

"A handful of Japanese restaurants line the Robertson Quay terrain, with many Japanese visitors flocking here for a sentimental taste of home. Shirokane Tori-Tama is one such restaurant that skews towards these palates, with yakitori comfort food like hearts and backs carved from smoky, grilled chicken. Absolutely perfect with a Sapporo or Suntory."

"Overall is was an amazing yakitori night at Fuku Yakitori, all of their skewers were well seasoned and grilled to perfection. I love the chicken heart (Hatsu)."

"Favorites such as Hatsu (chicken heart) are moist with the barest hint of char."

"Yakitori is the big draw here, with smoky, salty chicken heartsarriving fresh off the binchotan."
