Yakitori Musume: Sugo Ude Hanjouki (2002)

Like Media Entertainment's other cooking games, Manpuku!! Nabe Kazoku and Yakiniku Bugyou, Yakitori Musume is a fast-paced game of reflexes and memorization/timing. The difficulty curve seems a little higher than those other titles, however, and the unskippable slow conversations can get pretty frustrating. I like it, but you have to have a little more patience with it than the other games. Oh, and the menus are quite heavy on the Japanese, but you can figure out the necessities pretty quickly by trial and error.
