At Fukumimi Makati, certified Japanese yakitori chefs, known as nintei yakishi, grill a wide variety of skewers using premium charcoal.
Each skewer is seasoned with a blend of Japanese salts, including seaweed salt, and finished with the restaurant’s signature tare sauce—a closely guarded recipe passed down since the company’s founding.

The Fukumimi Yaki, a chicken thigh wrapped in its own skin and grilled until crisp on the outside while remaining juicy inside, stands out as one of the restaurant’s most iconic items.
