some of the Famous Japanese grills

Japan is famous for its local and exotic cuisine, which is unique in Asia. Just like the Italian and French in Europe, the Japanese will not be disappointed in choosing delicious food.

Although there are many Japanese dishes to choose from (for example, sashimi, tempura, ramen, sushi, etc.), barbecue food has always become the favorite of local people and foreigners in some way.

Grilling has become an ancient tradition in Japan. With the passage of time, countless grill designs and charcoal based cooking methods have been developed and are very popular in Japan.

Here are some familiar Japanese grills:

Hitachi

Hibachi was originally intended as a heating device for ancient Japanese families. Because of its small size and light weight, it is easy to carry and move anywhere the user may need to heat a specific location in his / her house.

Its basic design is mainly round and cylindrical, but sometimes it is made into a box, and rectangular charcoal is usually used for these types of grills.

Hibachi has a traditional round porcelain form, as well as a rectangular shape made of cast iron, stainless steel or aluminum.

Shichirin

When people no longer use shichirin as Hibachi, they call shichirin this way - a difference that Westerners often make mistakes in most cases.

However, it's not foreigners who are considering using Hibachi as a grill equipment. No, it's Japanese farmers in Edo era. They are right!

So, in essence, shichirin is a kind of Hibachi used for cooking, no longer used for heating home, but now the two can be interchanged. So, in fact, it's no longer a big problem.

Konro

The compact and lightweight Japanese Grill is a uniquely designed grill lined with a ceramic or aluminum shell with a narrow top to prevent food from falling into the burning charcoal fuel inside.

Today, aluminum webs are used to cover the top to prevent this from happening, and the box shaped grill has become larger as the problem of food falling into the box has become a thing of the past.

Irori

Irori, perhaps the rarest of the Japanese grills, is a cut fireplace dug from the floor of an old Japanese house.

You have to hang the kettle over a burning Changchun charcoal stove about 0.5 feet below to cook the food in the kettle.

Today, instead of drilling for their own floors, the Japanese built this kind of sunken furnace on the floor of their houses. However, while there are still restaurants with barbecues in their premises today, you may not find Irori in any Japanese house today.

Teppan

When Japan introduced modern iron making, the Teppanyaki was born. Some Japanese cooking experts believe that an open iron cooker or a flat iron frying pan, much larger than an ordinary frying pan, can allow them to cook a variety of recipes in a large iron grill.

It's true that it's better than a regular grill, and they can grill meat, seafood and vegetables at the same time without changing the cooking utensils.

Teppanyaki also produced some of the most exotic and unique Japanese cuisine in history!
