SUCCULENT SALAD AND NEW BITES OFF A STICK
In Japan, yakitori originally means “grilled chicken.” But at Nanbantei of Tokyo, there are so much more to feast on than just your favorite fowl.

Moreover, Nanbantei of Tokyo now offers fresh salads to tease (and please) your palate.

Mushroom lovers will revel in this stand-out dish made of fresh lettuce, robust-flavored shitake mushrooms, fresh tomatoes, carrots and radish topped with onion leeks. This simple, no-fuss salad is served with sesame dressing on the side to better enjoy its hearty flavor.
Once you’re ready for some stick sensations, savor three new unique yakitori specials. Do you sometimes find yourself craving for meat and seafood? At Nanbantei of Tokyo, you can have both in one sitting. The new Shrimp with Bacon yakitori includes two sticks of three plump and sweet shrimps wrapped in slivers of mouth-watering bacon strips. It’s a match made in food heaven!
For the more adventurous foodies, the Gyu-Tan is spot on. The Japanese word for cow which is ‘gyu’ is combined with ‘tan’ to mean tongue becomes gyutan, or ox’s tongue, a specialty skewer in Japan. Sliced just right to the bite, this dish is garlic-infused and is perfectly grilled.
Buta Negi, on the other hand, are skewers of onion leeks wrapped with succulent pork slices. These hot bites are definitely worth a try.
