Yakiniku Shichirin Round Grill
This Yakiniku Shichirin Japanese-style grill brings communal cooking to your backyard from the first course to the last. Please only use these grills outside and never inside. Traditionally, all Japanese homes were equipped with an irori, a hearth dug into the floor that families gathered around to grill meat and vegetables. As Japanese cities grew, more people moved into apartments, and grilling was not possible. To fill that gap, some restaurants specialized in yakitori (grilled chicken), yakiton (grilled pork), or thinly sliced beef and fish to give neighborhoods access to the social act of cooking and eating around a grill with family and friends. The ceramic grill brings that concept directly to you.
It comes with a removable metal grate and frame, stainless steel yakitori bars, a bamboo plank to protect your table from heat and thin meat needles that won’t shred delicate meats, plus binchotan charcoal. Enjoy classic Japanese barbecue and yakitori, or use to get your group grilling burgers or roasting marshmallows all together. Please note: THIS GRILL IS FOR OUTDOOR USE ONLY
Yokofuku “More More Garlic” Teriyaki Sauce
An exclusive Milk Street staff favorite and chock-full of Japanese-grown garlic, Yokofuku’s “More More Garlic” Teriyaki Sauce brings bold, sweet, garlicky flavor to just about anything you add it to. Planted in mid-September in Kagoshima Prefecture, an area with active volcanoes that makes for the most fertile soil, the garlic in this sauce is harvested in early June and combined with soy sauce from the Kyushu region, mirin, sesame and oyster sauce for a punchy, thick final product. Right upfront you’ll taste salty soy combined with pungent garlic, then notes of sweet, nutty sesame, plus a little bit of acid and funk from the mirin and oyster sauce. Use this delightfully textured sauce as a marinade or dipping sauce for barbecued meats, roasted veggies and tofu; toss with noodles and rice or add for an instant flavor booster to soups.
