Kasai Konro Charcoal Grills - Authentic Japanese Robata Grilling
Experience the art of traditional Japanese grilling with Kasai Konro charcoal grills. Inspired by centuries-old robata and yakitori techniques, Kasai Konro grills feature ceramic-lined fireboxes that reflect intense radiant heat for restaurant-quality searing and authentic Japanese flavour. Transform your outdoor cooking with the same grilling method used in Japan's finest yakitori restaurants.
What Makes Kasai Konro Special
Diatomaceous Earth Ceramic Lining: Each Kasai Konro features a traditional ceramic lining made from diatomaceous earth that reflects intense radiant heat directly onto food. This creates even, concentrated heat without flare-ups, delivering the perfect sear whilst maintaining moisture and tenderness inside.
Designed for Binchotan Charcoal: Kasai Konro grills are engineered specifically for binchotan (white charcoal), premium Japanese oak charcoal that burns at up to 1000°C. Binchotan produces minimal smoke, no sparks, and imparts subtle flavour without overpowering delicate fish and vegetables.
Restaurant-Quality Searing: With surface temperatures reaching 400-500°C, Kasai Konro grills deliver the intense heat professional chefs use for perfect yakitori, wagyu steaks, and robata-style vegetables. The concentrated radiant heat creates beautiful caramelisation and char whilst keeping interiors juicy and tender.
Compact and Versatile: Available in multiple sizes from compact tabletop models (30-40cm) to larger professional units (70cm+), Kasai Konro grills fit any space and cooking style. Perfect for balconies, patios, or outdoor kitchens.
Perfect for Japanese-Style Grilling
Yakitori: The traditional Japanese art of skewered chicken grilled over binchotan. The Konro's intense heat creates perfect char whilst keeping meat tender and juicy.
Robata: Fireside cooking featuring vegetables, seafood, and meats grilled over charcoal. The ceramic lining provides the even heat essential for authentic robata.
Wagyu Steaks: High-heat searing creates a perfect crust on premium beef whilst maintaining the tender, buttery interior.
Seafood: Prawns, scallops, and fish benefit from the intense, clean heat that sears exteriors without overcooking delicate flesh.
Vegetables: Aubergines, peppers, mushrooms, and spring onions develop deep caramelisation and smoky flavour.

Binchotan Charcoal - The Secret to Authentic Flavour
Binchotan (white charcoal) is essential for authentic Konro cooking. This premium Japanese oak charcoal burns extremely hot (up to 1000°C), clean, and long-lasting. Unlike regular charcoal, binchotan produces minimal smoke, no sparks, and imparts subtle flavour without overpowering food. A single load burns for 3-5 hours and can be extinguished and reused multiple times, making it economical despite the higher initial cost.
