[Sanuki Udon Tour] Day 2 _ Yatai

Yatai is a snack & bar stall inside Lion shopping arcade (by the way, in Takamatsu there is the longest shopping arcade throughout Japan and Lion is one branch of the main arcade) and serves one of Kagawa specialties -- Honetsukidori.


Honetsukidori means chicken leg with the bone attached, I mean, not pulled out.  It is
more common in Japan to cook chicken without bone.

And yes, there is NO English menu in this stall of course.  You need to ask using body language.  But only with a passion to eat this dish, I found there are two types of Honetsukidori -- tough one and soft one -- and I choose tough one.

With a glass of Whiskey Highball.  Highball is a liquor based cocktail and this glass is made of Suntory Whiskey and fizzy water.

Along with a Yakitori set: 5 sorts of grilled chicken parts including liver.
(I see in the picture only 4, so one is in my mouth, right?)

Finally here comes the famous Honetsukidori, with tough flesh and BIG bone served with fresh uncooked cabbage.  It goes well with drink (not soft drink, you know) and smells very savage with lots of pepper.  Yum-yum!
