Try to order edamame, those popular boiled green peas, and you will be entering the 'How much edamame can you grab with one hand' contest! Knowing that the restaurant keeps a record and the all-time winner could grab a nifty half a kilo, give it your best shot but you'll be surprised how little an untrained hand can catch!
Once food orders are taken, a small clay barbecue will be brought to your table and placed below the ventilation pipe hanging down from the ceiling above the centre of your table. If you have been in a Yakiniku before, you already know that ventilation is the key to a great dinner... the food cooks fast and any smoke is flawlessly disposed of.
