BBQ
The popular yakiniku chain is offering the set for the duration of the summer at participating locations throughout Japan.
Can you guess what’s underneath the plastic bucket at the end of all that aluminium tubing?
An online retailer offers stylish new coil stands to keep insects out of your barbecue and impress friends at the same time.
Of course there are outdoor barbecues in Japan, but with very little front or backyard space to work with, the grill and everything that goes on it has been shrunk down. Devoid of any fancy knobs, racks, or even a lid, and easily packed away in a storage shed for use during the summer, these small grills are deceptively simple, but can churn out some delicious grub.
Let’s take a closer look at the tradition of grilling meat outdoors in Japan and we’ll also show you how to enjoy your own Japanese-style barbecue.
