Totto's Tsukune

Meat on a stick...
Yah, it just makes sense.
Tsukune is one of many different types of meats on sticks served at Japanese Yakitori joints.
The picture below (top left) is a tsukune served at
Yakitori Totto (55th between Broadway and 8th ave)



















(from top left clock wise : Tsukune, Kawa (skin), Fried Tofu, Pickled Wasabi)

The Dudes frequent this little eatery quite often these days.
Totto uses special Japanese charcoals that burn exceptionally hotter than your commodity Kingsford.
This results in a unique smoky char on each skewer which really compliments a good Japanese Lager and/or Sake.
