I’ve read all of the meat on a stick series What a great idea. Love Zakkushi, always a good time. I esp. enjoy sitting right by the grill at the Main St. location.

I went to the Zakkushi on Main St and thoroughly enjoyed it although I did find it to be a bit pricey. My favourite was the Mochi Maki, which was pork and mochi. The mochi went really well with the pork and gave it a nice and chewy texture.

LOVE their simple but big flavors! It’s all about process and doing it right like the traditional eateries in Japan. Instead of huge mega-menus, it’s about focusing on one food item (eg. chicken) and preparing it to the best of your abilities. There is a chicken yakitori place in Tokyo where every part of a fresh chicken is well-seasoned and cooked on a charcoal grill. Each part of the meat–whether it be the fatty skin, succulent oyster or cartilage–is grilled to perfection and best enjoyed seconds after it’s taken off the grill. That’s what Zakkushi is attempting to bring to Vancouver! Sugoi!
