About Konro Grills The Japanese word “konro” indicates any heat source used for cooking. A konro barbecue is a special kind of Japanese grill that is generally long and narrow enough that the yakitori skewers can rest on the walls of the box and not fall into the coals below. There are also wider versions to accommodate larger pieces of meat, like a ribeye steak. Kaginushi Kogyo konro grills are uniquely made from diatomite sediment found in Japan's Noto peninsula, Ishikawa, and Hokkaido. This material is ground, mixed with water, molded, and baked into blocks. You can read more them here. 

Konro Grills are also often paired with Binchotan charcoal, which you can read about here.

  • All Konro orders are shipping with UPS in Canada and DHL in USA.

Loving My Konro

"I’ve been eyeing this konro for several years but didn’t have the chance to pick one up. Thanks to a recent trip to the Edmonton store and a great bundle price, I finally brought one home. Such excellent advice from the expert in store! It’s been so fun trying different foods and we love the charcoal. Highly recommend and the size is just right. Meat cooks fast and we can reuse the charcoal. Delicious!"

— Sue L. (5/5)

Great product and great company. Thank you!"

Yakitori Grill

"These guys have always been good to me. Grill's what I wanted. Great size, the Medium. The young lady who helped me out this time at the Main St. Location was also wonderful. Chinese Tunisian? Incredibly sharp, funny, and CRM-forward. That said, the whole team have kept me coming back for years."
