Yakitori was sold for the first time in 1912 in a kebab shop in the Kanto area, the eastern area of Japan. Though the name Yakitori means grilled chicken, the kebab had various kinds of meat such as horse meat, beef guts and even dog meat just to make it cheaper. Due to low cost Yakitori became very popular among all Japanese people. After the war, the Yakitori was a bigger hit due to the reduction of food. Still the Japanese people did not use chicken, but instead they used pork and beef in a sweet sauce made from a soya sauce substitute and saccharin. In 1965, the Yakitori stalls' menus were as good as the ones today due to the introduction of American broilers. Cheap Yakitori went down well with alcohol, so yakitori appeared on Izakaya (restaurant or pub) menus. Now with Yakitori becoming more popular in today's society they use can use a whole chicken to make several different types of Yakitori.
