A little history
Yakiniku (焼き肉／焼肉, for "grilled meat" is a Japanese method of cooking meat, vegetables or fish.
The Japanese motto is "strengthening the people". They love to gather around food and enjoy a beautiful summer evening with family and friends, around a traditional Japanese grill. For this, there's nothing better than a Shichirin, a small, compact and versatile table grill, easily transportable to create conviviality on and around the dining table.
The advantage of the Shichirin is that you can sit together around the fire and prepare small portions of food as you please.
Friends and family gather around the grill, each responsible for their own food, comparable to a gourmet barbecue. Shichirin is made of ceramic with quartz and cordierite and fired at high temperatures, reaching up to 900 degrees. The Japanese use binchotan charcoal, a high-quality charcoal that can reach these extremely high temperatures.
The Shichirin is easy to clean thanks to its glazed exterior and can only be used outdoors with briquettes, self-igniting briquettes or charcoal. YAKINIKU offers round and rectangular models for an authentic Japanese grilling experience.
The various types of cooking
The Shichirin barbecue offers a variety of ways to cook:
- The advantage of ceramic barbecues is heat retention. So you don't need a lot of charcoal for cooking that can last several hours.
- With the Binchotan, you can achieve extremely high temperatures by simply adjusting the air supply.
- Direct cooking, ideal for searing pieces of meat
- Indirect cooking, placed in a place where there are no coals, your food will cook slowly, retaining all its aromas.
- Griddle cooking, ideal for vegetables and seafood.

The food is presented on the table in small portions, similar to that of gourmets. When using the Shichirin, friends and family take their places around the grill, each preparing their own food as they wish.
