Hatsu yakitori

Hatsu is a traditional yakitori dish prepared with chicken hearts as the main ingredient. They are usually dipped into tare sauce, placed on skewers, then grilled. This type of yakitori is very popular since it's not found that often (because there's only one heart per chicken), the hearts are low in fat, with a meaty flavor and a tender, juicy texture. The hearts are grilled until just slightly browned, and the skewers are then usually served with salt and lemon wedges on the side. The dish can also be found in izakaya bars, where it's often accompanied by a glass of cold beer.
