 ‘Robata’ is short for ‘robatayaki’, which translates as ‘fireside cooking’ in Japanese cuisine. The cooking style refers to a method of cooking over hot charcoal on a wide and flat open fireplace, similar to barbecuing. Our chefs love cooking on the robata grill. However, there is a skill in keeping the food on the grill for exactly the right amount of time, or adjusting the height of the food being cooked above the charcoal to create the perfect cooking conditions. The flavour of meat cooked on robata grills is succulent inside with a crisp, smoked exterior. Take a look at our 3 marinade recipes below…
