Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the Yakitori sauce.
Place the chicken thigh pieces in the Yakitori sauce and let them marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the pre-soaked bamboo skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
While grilling, baste the chicken skewers with the remaining Yakitori sauce using a basting brush, turning them occasionally to ensure even coating.
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve the Yakitori skewers hot and enjoy them with steamed rice or as part of a Japanese-inspired meal.
