What robata grilling is
Robata is a traditional Japanese charcoal grilling technique in which dishes are prepared on a long, narrow grate and served straight from the grill, often directly in front of guests at the bar counter. The method is typical for the quick preparation of smaller portions - yakitori, fish, vegetables or seafood - with an emphasis on intense heat and a short cooking time.
Robata grills are ideal for the "open kitchen" concept, where the grilling itself is part of the guest's experience at the bar or counter.
