YAKINIKU LARGE Rectangular Shichirin | Konro & Yakitori grill
The YAKINIKU® LARGE Shichirin is the ultimate table grill for anyone who enjoys refined grilling and wants to bring a unique Japanese culinary experience to the table. This rectangular Shichirin is based on the traditional Japanese Konro model and offers a luxurious and compact way of outdoor cooking. With a grilling surface that is no less than 40% larger than the MEDIUM variant, the LARGE is perfectly suited for larger groups of 4 to 8 people or for use in professional hospitality settings. Whether you're hosting a dinner party with friends or enjoying an intimate barbecue with family: this Shichirin brings everyone together around the fire.
What makes the Shichirin so special is the way of grilling. Unlike a traditional barbecue, the Shichirin is all about precision, finesse, and attention. Small portions of meat, fish, or vegetables are prepared directly over the fire, with maximum control over the cooking process. The compact form encourages interaction: everyone sits around the table and grills their own ingredients. It’s similar to gourmet-style dining, but more stylish, flavorful, and authentically Japanese. It's an experience that uniquely combines cooking and eating.
What truly sets the LARGE Shichirin apart from the MINI and MEDIUM versions is the extra space and versatility. Thanks to the wide grilling surface, you can prepare multiple dishes at the same time. Ideal for those who love variety or are cooking for a larger group. Meat, fish, vegetables, or tofu: everything has its place without flavors blending.
Moreover, the LARGE Shichirin allows you to create different heat zones. By strategically arranging the charcoal, you can sear ingredients over direct heat on one side, while gently cooking or keeping them warm on the other. This level of control over the grilling process is not only convenient but also enables the use of advanced culinary techniques usually reserved for large barbecues or professional kitchens. The LARGE Shichirin combines precision with capacity—a rare combination in table grills.
Material quality plays an important role here. The YAKINIKU® Shichirin is made from a high-quality ceramic blend of quartz and cordierite, which can withstand extremely high temperatures. Thanks to the glazed finish, the surface is not only stylish but also easy to clean. The ceramic casing retains heat effectively and ensures even heat distribution. This allows you to achieve perfect grilling results, time and time again.
As for fuel, the Shichirin is designed for use with charcoal or briquettes, preferably outdoors. You can use the Shichirin indoors, provided you have excellent ventilation. Therefore, we recommend indoor use only for professional hospitality partners. For the ultimate Japanese grilling experience, it’s best to choose Binchotan charcoal. Known in Japan as "black gold," Binchotan reaches extremely high temperatures, burns for a long time, and produces minimal smoke. It emits hardly any smell or smoke and burns much more steadily than regular charcoal, keeping your dishes pure in flavor. Lighting it requires some preparation: start with a base layer of soft charcoal like Acacia, place the Binchotan diagonally on top, and let it glow until the core is white-hot. You can also use a gas burner—after about 15 minutes, the Binchotan will be ready to use.
What makes the LARGE Shichirin so versatile is that it can be used year-round. In summer, it turns every evening into a social, culinary table experience. In winter, it's perfect for a warm, cozy outdoor barbecue. Thanks to its compact size, you can easily place it on a garden table, outdoor bar, or countertop. Its elegant finish gives it a modern, luxurious look that fits in any garden or outdoor kitchen.
For those who want to get even more out of their Shichirin, there are various accessories available. The most popular add-on is the Yakitori bars: metal rods that you place on top of the grill to lay skewers on. This easily creates a Yakitori setup similar to those in Japanese Izakaya restaurants. By rotating the skewers directly over the fire, your ingredients cook perfectly and acquire that signature lightly smoked flavor. In combination with the YAKINIKU® BBQ skewers, you can endlessly vary with vegetables, chicken, beef, fish, or tofu. This way, you can prepare your favorite Yakitori dish or put together a diverse grill selection for your guests.
Not only its performance but also its ease of use makes the Shichirin unique. Thanks to the smart design and solid construction, it's easy to move and quickly ready to use. The glazed interior makes cleaning easy: residues and grease don’t burn in and can be easily removed with a damp cloth or soft brush. The ceramic housing also maintains its appearance thanks to the heat-resistant glaze.
In terms of functionality, the Shichirin rivals larger barbecues. Because the heat is concentrated on a small grill surface, you can sear ingredients very quickly or cook them slowly. The intense, direct heat allows for fast caramelization of meat, while fish and vegetables retain their structure. This not only enhances the flavor experience but also ensures efficient preparation.
The rectangular shape offers extra space and makes it easy to grill multiple skewers at once. As a result, the LARGE Shichirin is ideal for group use, where everyone grills their own portion. The result is an interactive, social meal that everyone is part of. The grill becomes the centerpiece of the table—literally and figuratively.
By purchasing a YAKINIKU® LARGE Shichirin, you're not just choosing a high-quality product, but also an authentic way of dining together. The combination of Japanese craftsmanship, premium materials, and thoughtful design makes this table grill a true asset for every outdoor cooking enthusiast. Whether you love grilling traditional meats, preparing vegetarian dishes, or experimenting with Yakitori: the LARGE Shichirin provides the perfect foundation.
Lastly, the Shichirin is also a stylish object in your outdoor kitchen. The clean lines, robust ceramic, and premium finish make this grill a true eye-catcher. The combination of functionality and design is characteristic of YAKINIKU®, known for its high-quality, durable products with a Japanese soul.
