It is believed that yakimono was invented by soldiers who impaled chunks of meat on their swords & stuck them into a fire. A typical yakimono dish is cooked as small pieces of food on bamboo skewers, the most famous of these dishes in the West being yakitori, or skewered & grilled chicken.

 

Most yakimono dishes are served piping hot, as an appetizer or as a part of a larger course of appetizers. There are also some other popular yakimono dishes that are not skewered, such as gyoza, pan-fried dumplings that are often filled with vegetables & pork, the basic type of yakimono is shioyaki, in which salt is coarsely sprinkled over the food before grilling.
