“It took 10 years to become the Yakitori Master. I can control butchery. I can control flavor. I can control fire.” Spend a day behind the scenes with Atsushi "ATS" Kono at his Yakitori restaurant in New York City, Kono—an intimate space where he serves 16 courses to 14 guests at a time, single handedly.
