Japanese BBQ
What is a Japanese BBQ?
A Japanese BBQ, also known as a konro grill, is a traditional Japanese charcoal grill made of diatomaceous earth, which gives the grill extraordinary heat retention. The grill design creates even heat distribution without scorching, helping capture and preserve Japanese flavours. And, because grilling happens close to the charcoal, the juices drip down and infuse the food with delicious smoke.
What do I need for a Japanese BBQ?
Along with Japanese BBQs, we also offer several binchotan charcoal options to heat your grill - from authentic binchotan made from ubame oak to more affordable binchotan briquettes. Binchotan is known as the best charcoal in the world due to its density. This means it will stay at cooking temperature for several hours, and it can even be extinguished and reused.
And, what's a Japanese BBQ without a great selection of marinades and sauces to compliment the chef's craft? Whether you are looking to add spice, depth of flavour or just turn the umami factor up to eleven, our range of Japanese sauces, marinades and condiments is just what you’re looking for.
