Grilled delights at Takagi Yakitori

Tried this cozy joint on Minden Avenue on a rainy day for grilled snacks.


There were so many different items which was why I chose these instead of the usual meats and grilled chicken.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
marinated baby hotaru squid:

Lovely marinated squids which would probably go well with sake.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
monkfish liver:

The livers were velvety and fresh without any fishy taste compared to other ones I have tried before.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grilled oysters

The oysters were juicy enhanced by the freshly grounded black pepper that was sprinkled on it.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grilled mackerel:

The mackerel was a little dry but tasty and I loved the crispy grilled mackerel skin.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grilled mentaiko

The grilled mentaiko was quite salty which was nicely complimented by the salad on the side.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grilled chicken livers






The grilled livers were velvety and rich covered in sweet glaze.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
japanese rice balls:

These were my favourite, they were crispy with cheese in the middle.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
grilled japanese cheese cake

The Japanese cheese cakes were grilled perfectly with gooey cheese in the middle which tasted like brie cheese.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
Japanese pickle platter:

The pickle platter seemed interesting and it indeed it was.
My favourites were the burdock and the shallots which were sweet and refreshing.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
quail eggs:

The quail eggs were fun to eat but I wish the yolk was runny.

Monkfish livers

From a distance, this joint looks like it is closed because the shop sign in the shop has grey shadow lines over it.

Anyway, grabbed some Flying fish roe rolls and a box of Monkfish livers which totalled $25.

When I got them out of the bag, I realised there were no chopsticks or wasabi.

The wasabi would have enhanced the taste but I just had to make do with the soy sauce that was given.

I paired the Monkfish livers with the rolls and it tasted quite nice because the livers were velvety and soft.
The flying fish roes could have been fresher because the roe were a bit discoloured and shrivelled up.
For $15, the livers were quite a good deal.
