Quick Yakatori Lunch

[ckreef]

Last day of vacation. Wet and dreary but 70 degrees out. 

 

Flat Iron Steak and shrimp with appropriate sauces. Lettuce salad with Japanese dressing and Ginseng tea. Only thing missing was the broth soup.

 

Lunch was a good but I'm a little bummed. I accidentally broke my nice Japanese tea pot (matched the tea cups) while getting everything ready. 

 

Just one picture. Should have taken another picture with food on the grill.

That looks like a fun family meal. Good way to make an event out of a meal!

Looks like the perfect lunch too me.

ck, that is too bad about your teapot.  I'm sure it put a damper on what would normally be a fun meal.

[Bruce Pearson]

Sorry about your tea pot.  That looks like a fantastic meal cooked right at your table cool.

That looks like fun. We like to do fondue nights on occasion. Close kin to that idea.

Nice, except for the teapot incident. I won't be doing any yakitori for months, so I'm envious of this one! 

If you would like to replace the teapot, Charles, give a look at this site - they stock lots of out of inventory china, etc.

Thanks everyone it was a fun meal. Everyone cooking their own food. We were just taking advantage of a reasonably warm day. I have a nice fondue set I'll have to get out one day. 

Definitely bummed about the pot it was a nice set. Will check out that website.

You've got me looking up these grills. What's the difference between a yakatori and hibachi? I'll have to add this to the list after the second KK, Blackstone, and other things you make me crave...

I have the same one as Charles. Here's the Amazon link.

Most hibachi have metal bodies, these are ceramic.

Basically what Tony said for practical purposes. Hibachi is really just a western word that the marketers back in the day thought  would sell more grills.

Well that's dirt cheap. A bag of Fogo. We could mash-up cultures with fondue and yakatori nights.

Nah any decent lump will work. 

But here lies the problem - the large Konro grill is the exact one I desire. It has been out of stock (everywhere) for over a year now. I fear the original manufacturer no longer makes it. I've been trying to find a suitable replacement with no luck (and I've done a lot of searching.) Almost to the point of considering just making my own and be done with it. Just not sure I want to tackle that kind of project with so many other projects on the "list".

The coal sounds like it's the best but I'm thinking aged care homes that are into pottery make my own lol

Real binchotan is really expensive. I have found that cocochar works really well in the yakitori,  burns almost as hot and very little ash.
