CINNAMON LIFE

A Yakitori Indulgence at Yoroko

Tradition Meets Contemporary Flair at Cinnamon Life

Colombo, Friday 3 October 2025 – This October, elevate your dining experience as Yoroko, perched high above the city on Level 23 at Cinnamon Life at City of Dreams, unveils an exclusive Yakitori Week — a seven-day culinary celebration of Japan’s beloved charcoal-grilled delicacy. From 15 to 21 October, guests are invited to savor a specially curated yakitori platter priced at 6,000 LKR++, designed for those who appreciate artisanship, authenticity, and flavour at its finest.

Yakitori — literally meaning “grilled bird” — is not simply food; it is a ritual of fire, smoke, and flavour that has delighted Japan for centuries. At Yoroko, each skewer is prepared with meticulous care, using premium chicken cuts kissed by the heat of traditional charcoal, allowing every piece to emerge with a delicate smokiness and irresistible tenderness.

The platter takes diners on a journey through six distinct cuts, each offering its own story. From the succulent thigh and the light, smoky breast to the golden crackle of crispy skin, every bite is an ode to texture and taste. For those who seek more adventurous flavours, the rich heart and the chewy gizzard bring a depth of character, while the charred wings deliver a juicy and satisfying finale. To heighten the experience, the skewers are paired with up to two portions of fragrant garlic rice— buttery, aromatic and the perfect partner to the smoky richness of the grill.

“At Yoroko, we reimagine Japanese cuisine with respect for its traditions, while giving it a modern and creative lens,” says Chef Raisha Fajar. “Yakitori Week is more than just dining. It is about creating a sensory journey that embodies joy, sharing, and discovery, inspired by the very essence of our name, yorokobi, meaning joy in Japanese.”

With its breathtaking panoramic views of Colombo, Yoroko is the ultimate setting to immerse yourself in this celebration of Japanese flavours. Whether gathering with friends, sharing a special evening with family, or seeking an unforgettable culinary moment, this limited-time event offers an unparalleled blend of authenticity and artistry.
