What is robata dining?
Robata dining, derived from the Japanese word "robatayaki" (炉端焼き), refers to a traditional Japanese style of grilling that is typically done over an open flame or hot coals. This style of cooking uses the premium charcoal, binchotan, prized for burning hotter than any other charcoal while not producing smoke. The setup for robata involves multiple layers of steel racks or grills, with food placed over the coals and a team of chefs basting the morsels to carefully regulate the temperature until each is cooked to perfection.
