Tsukune

Cultural Context

Tsukune, originating from Japan, are skewered chicken meatballs often enjoyed at izakayas (Japanese pubs). Traditionally made with ground chicken mixed with various seasonings, they are grilled to perfection and served with a sweet soy glaze. Tsukune embodies the spirit of Japanese street food, celebrating simple yet flavorful ingredients. Today, they are popular not only in Japan but also in many countries, where variations may include different meats or seasonings.
