The Japanese word "sumibi" or "sumibiyaki" refers to food grilled over a charcoal fire. Charcoal cooking adds a rich, smoky flavour to every dish and enhances the taste of "umami", a deep, almost indescribable flavour well known in traditional Japanese cuisine. The professional-grade yakitori sumibiyaki barbecue is made from special bricks resistant to very high temperatures of 1,000°C and above. It is designed to cook at high temperatures and is particularly well suited for quickly grilling yakitori, red meats, fish and shellfish, and vegetables.

As charcoal emits far-infrared rays, it cooks not only the surface of the ingredients evenly, but also the interior. Furthermore, gas easily generates water vapour after combustion, and food tends to retain moisture. Charcoal, on the other hand, only generates carbon dioxide, so no moisture. This Japanese barbecue does not require a grill rack, as the ends of the skewers rest on two supports. This barbecue, popular in Japan for decades, is set to become popular among chefs and cooking enthusiasts the world over.

Many dishes in Japanese cuisine use charcoal, such as yakitori, grilled eel and beef, and the charcoal known as binchotan is widely used in Japan. This stems from the particular qualities of binchotan charcoal, recommended for these quick cooking methods that give grilled meats a very distinctive flavour, much loved by fans of Japanese skewers. With this type of cooking, the heat penetrates very quickly to the core of the food without altering it.

Yakitori became popular in Japan in the mid-1900s. Before that, food eaten on skewers was already part of the Japanese diet, but other poultry, meats such as pork and beef, and foods such as tempura and oden were popular. Chicken was less common, due to its high price, and the original yakitori was made from offal and other cheap scraps. After the end of the Second World War, the supply of chicken stabilised and yakitori went from being a delicacy to an everyday food. Shops selling yakitori became popular places where office workers would stop to eat and have a drink after work. Read on to find out more about enjoying yakitori in Japan. Sumibiyaki (charcoal-grilled) is the most popular cooking method, which retains the flavourful juices of the chicken for maximum taste, while creating an enticing aroma. Yakitori grilled over high-quality binchotan are particularly sought after.
