Oh, so that's what those grills are called for robatayaki. I'll see if I can find any at my local Japanese market 👍 Also, I would have used the flat kushi on the larger food items so they don't spin like that when you turn them. Makes it easier to obtain even browning on all the sides without having to fight with gravity.
I like these long rectangular ones - but the round ones might be easier to find - like this: ua-cam.com/video/Wf35BtjthMk/v-deo.htmlsi=JscBGXNtfL-0L8rx
You are a very excellent bicultural foreigner resident in Japan. Also your wife seems very helpful. Maybe you could subtitle her speech for the foreign audience.
Thank you for your comment and suggestion about subtitling. Maybe we can do that for our shorter videos? Meanwhile, I'll try to summarize what she says.
Awesome video! i remember going through the BBQ section at the local shops in japan but i was a broke student back then and had other priorities haha Starting to get into cooking things i ate in Japan back when i lived there and i managed to find a clay grill that looks almost identical to yours. Definitely not as cheap as in Japan tho. almost 3X the price.
I bought something like this at Odaiba once. More of a "hipster' styled one, that was almost 24 years ago, still gets used, of course the metal grill got replaced a few times over that period, used to use it on the balcony of my apartment in Tokyo LOL. Great video! Will subscribe.
@@kyushulive That could be really interesting. Especially if you invited a few interesting guests and gave them some screen time as well. Like a chef or a micro brewer or a sake expert, people you can link closely to the content. I suppose now would not be the best time for that, however. :/
@@fukuoka-musician I totally agree - and want to have more guests - but you guessed right. With current restrictions so many of the things I really want to do are not possible or just won't be interesting. Tomorrow I do have a guest for a livestream in Kitakyushu - and since we will just be walking by buildings - it's practical to do. On this Saturday. Emiko and I will try a "yakitori live" and if it goes well - we might try to get a guest for a follow up one the next week
Terrific! I can smell the yakitori cooking from here. Now, add hard little wooden stools and speakers playing the sound of densha passing overhead!
I've romanticized about setting up a small shack with a shichirin, selection of sake, shochu as a retirement gig. I'm half way there.
@@kyushulive apply early for your yatai license!
Love the garden set up! It seems like you have a lot of space to enjoy the BBQ in the nature.
interesting! How much is the rectangular? the price here is too expensive so I wonder how cheap it is in Japan ...
At GooDay home center in Japan they cost ￥6,578 (as of summer 2022) probably same now.
thank you!
They'll cut pipes and stuff for you? Huh! It's like a deli for construction materials!
Ha! Never thought of that, but yes, it's like a deli - lots of section and customization. And as mentioned, the cutting fee was a reasonable ¥55.

This is actually a really good video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

No where except Japan would a sales guy in such a store cut that steel then be bothered to remove the burrs LOL, I miss that place.
True,,, still excellent service here. Never feel like I'm bothering staff when I ask for help.
Yep that was the same for me when I was living there, no matter what the store, always got the VIP treatment.@@kyushulive

Thanks for including the prices, I find that very helpful. Great video!
You're most welcome. We still use this setup regularly. Shichirin rule! 🙂
Can you introduce which parks provide bbq facilities without charge.thank you

24 years - impressive!! Moisture softens the clay walls, so keeping them dry is key. Thanks for subscribing!
Just bought the same Shichirin, I just want to get the name of the starter/extinguisher if it’s possible!
Waw good job man ur good in barbecue making
Thanks - but I'm still learning. The shichirin is easy to use - give it a try!
@@kyushulive am still not good in cooking but looking forward to learn!
je l'ai manqué !
je dois la regarder maintenant !
It wasn't a livestream... but that gives me an idea? How about a yakitori livestream? ;-)

Wow a backyard!
Great video Nick, makes me want to go to the shop immediately to get this setup!
What's not to love? Simple, affordable, portable -m and works so well! Hope it works out for you.
