This style of Japanese grilling works well with a range of ingredients. From classic yakitori skewers to miso-glazed cod, the steady heat of charcoal helps food cook evenly while developing good colour and flavour. With a simple setup and the right approach, mastering hibachi can refine your skills and enhance your overall BBQ experience.
