I had this dish at a friends house and she was kind enough to share the recipe.. the times given do not take into account that you need to marinate for 1 hour or better for overnight.

How to make it
- the sauce:
- in a pot: add soy sauce, sake, 1 cup water, brown sugar, molasses, sugar, grated onion, accent* , and the soup bone
- bring to a boil. then reduce heat and simmer 1 hour
- remove soup bone
- mix cornstarch and 3 TBSP. water together until smooth
- add to above mixture. stir until it thickens.. about 2 mins.
- ( it won't be real thick)
- cool
- MEAT:
- cut chicken into cubes
- cut green onions into pieces that are the same length as the chicken cubes
- on Japanese Bamboo Skewers*** put a cube of chicken, then a piece of onion, repeat along the skewer. leave room at the end for easy handling on the grill
- place in a container and cover with the sauce and soak ( make sure the whole skewer is covered) 1 hour but better if overnight.
- cook over a grill until meat is done. turning occasionally
- these can also be cooked in the broiler
- ***make sure to throw away sauce that the meat marinated in..
- the sauce that is left over that has not been used can be frozen
- *** bamboo skewers can be purchased in most super markets in the oriental section
- *** accent is not necessary

I LOVE Yakitori!! Never tried adding the beef soup bone to the sauce, but I bet it helps 'deepen' the flavour immensely! Great post, Peetabear :)
