About the dish

Negima is a yakitori variety that is made with sliced chicken thighs or chicken breasts that are skewered together with pieces of green or Welsh onions (negi). Like other types of yakitori, negima is also typically seasoned with salt (shio), or a thick and subtly sweet soy sauce condiment known as tare . The ingredients are alternated on bamboo skewers and are then grilled over charcoal on traditional yakitori grills. Negima is one of the most common types of yakitori in Japan. It is commonly prepared and served in restaurants and izakaya bars.
