Introduction of Yakitori parts]Rare part "Bonjiri (Bonchiri)"｜@Minami Aoyama Tori-Yaki (Omotesando/Aoyama/Yakitori/Wine)

Gentlemen! How are you?
This is Ibu-chan from Minami Aoyama Toriyako.
The yakitori part introduced today is "Bonjiri".
Also called Bonchiri.

＜ぼんじりはどこの部位？＞

Bonjiri is the tail, or so-called tail, of a chicken.
Since only a few pieces of the meat can be obtained from a single bird, many people have probably never seen this rare part in supermarkets in town, except at yakitori restaurants.

＜What does Bonjiri taste like? What is the origin of its name? > >

Popular for its plump texture.

Bonjiri is the meat at the base of the chicken's tail, which is the part of the tail that is frequently moved and therefore has well-developed muscles.
On the other hand, it is so fatty that it is called "chicken tenderloin," and is characterized by its juicy, plump, and elastic texture.
When eating it with yakitori, it is recommended to eat it simply with salt, but also with tare (sauce), as it matches the fat of bonjiri.

Be careful with oil caps

Although you may not have the opportunity to cook bonjiri at home, you may want to remove the oil cap if you prep bonjiri at home.
This is the organ that secretes the oil that coats the chicken feathers to protect them from moisture and has a unique flavor that some people do not like.
However, some restaurants take the chicken oil (chiyu) out of this jar and use it in fried rice and ramen.

The name comes from the Doll Festival

Incidentally, the name "Bonjiri" is said to derive from the fact that the chicken's tail resembles the Bonbori used at the Girls' Festival.

We also carry Bonjiri at our restaurant, so please try it when you visit us.
