Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the grill to a medium-high to high heat, roughly 450F. (You should be able to hold your hand 3-4 inches from the cooking grate for only 2-3 seconds.)Soak the skewers in water for 10 minutes.In a small saucepan, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 min. Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside to cool slightly. Once cool, divide the sauce between two small bowls. (One we will use for brushing the raw meat, and one we will use for serving.)While the sauce is simmering and resting, remove the skewers from the soaking water and skewer the chicken and scallion pieces, leaving a little room at each end for easy turning.Cook the yakitori skewers over a hot grill for 2 minutes on the first side. Flip the skewers and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the second side. Flip the skewers again and brush them with the yakitori sauce. Flip the skewers and brush the second side with the sauce. Flip and brush the skewers once more. At this point the chicken should be firm and the sauce should be beginning to caramelize and create a nice glaze on the chicken.Transfer the cooked yakitori to a platter and brush them once more with the yakitori sauce (using a clean brush and the second bowl of yakitori sauce that has not been used for the chicken as it cooked).If you desire simple shio yakitori, simply sprinkle salt over the yakitori skewers before grilling. Grill 7-8 minutes, turning often, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Food Joke

The dinner party Freda and Moshe Levy won 8 million pounds in the National Lottery. They immediately went out to begin a life of living in luxury. They bought a luxurious mansion in Northwood, surrounded themselves with all the material wealth imaginable and decided to hire a butler. After much searching, they found the perfect one. One day, they instructed the butler to set up a dinner for four because they were inviting their friends, the Cohens, over for dinner and they will be going out for the day. When they returned that evening, they found the table set for six. When they asked the butler why six places were set when they specifically instructed him to set the table for four, the butler replied: "The Cohens called and said that they were bringing the Bagels."
