Grilling on a Shichirin is not just barbecuing. This is a whole other discipline. More refined, more elegant and smaller. No half pigs or whole chickens here, but small refined dishes that need more precision. First, one needs the charcoal Binchotan, which burns longer at a higher temperature and is more neutral than ordinary charcoal. This is grilling with the precision of a Swiss watch. Don't have a shichirin? No problem! The recipes are also perfect for a Kamado or other closed BBQ.
