Robata Grills
Robata grilling is all about control, heat and timing. Inspired by traditional Japanese fireside cooking, a robata grill lets you cook over intense charcoal heat while managing different ingredients at different levels.
At Kasai, our robata grill range is built around the Kasai Konro Grill and Robata Rack system, giving home cooks, chefs and outdoor cooking enthusiasts a flexible way to sear, slow-cook, rest and warm food over charcoal.
Whether you’re cooking skewers, fish, meat, or vegetables, or finishing a dish over live fire, our robata setup gives you more control over distance from the coals, cooking temperature, and serving pace.

Explore Kasai robata grills
The Kasai Konro Grill - Robata Edition is designed for multi-level Japanese-style grilling. Made in the UK from British brushed stainless steel, it combines the heat retention of natural mineral tiles with the flexibility of the Kasai Konro Robata Rack.
The robata rack clicks directly onto your Kasai Konro Grill, creating adjustable cooking levels above the charcoal. Use the lower level for direct heat and searing, the middle level for slower cooking, and the top level for resting or keeping food warm.
It’s a simple idea, but it changes how you cook. Instead of everything needing the same heat at the same time, you can move ingredients around the grill as they cook.
Choose the right robata grill size
Kasai robata grills are available in a range of sizes, so you can choose the setup that suits how and where you cook.
Size options include:
- Nano Kasai
- Little Kasai
- Medium Wide Kasai
- Medium Long Kasai
- Long Kasai
- XL Kasai
Smaller sizes are ideal for more compact spaces, intimate cooking and focused grilling. Larger options give you more cooking surface and greater flexibility when preparing multiple ingredients at once.
Accessories are designed to fit specific grill sizes, so it’s worth choosing your Kasai grill size first, then selecting the matching robata rack and accessories to complete your setup.
Why choose a charcoal robata grill?
A charcoal robata grill gives you the high, direct heat needed for flavourful searing, while still offering the control to cook more delicate ingredients carefully.
For the best results, pair your robata setup with high-quality Japanese charcoal, such as binchotan. Good charcoal burns cleanly and consistently, helping you maintain the steady heat that robata-style cooking depends on.

What can you cook on a robata grill?
Robata-style cooking works well for ingredients that benefit from direct heat and careful control. Popular options include:
- Meat skewers and yakitori-style dishes
- Fish and seafood
- Seasonal vegetables
- Steak, pork and lamb
- Glazed or marinated ingredients
- Sous-vide-cooked dishes finished over charcoal
The multi-level rack also makes it easier to manage timings. You can sear food close to the coals, move it higher to cook more gently, then rest it at the top while you finish the rest of the meal.
Build your Kasai robata setup
A Kasai robata grill is ideal for anyone who wants the flavour of live-fire cooking with the precision of a Japanese grill. Start with the grill size that suits your space, then add the robata rack, charcoal and accessories that fit your style of cooking.
