Binchoyaki is a modernJapanese style barbecue restaurant.
Binchoyaki’s cuisine is based on a style of Japanese cooking called sumiyaki (“Sumi” or “Bincho” is Japanese Charcoal and “Yaki” is Grill) or better known as yakitori (“Yaki” is Grill and “Tori” is Chicken).
In my travels and work experience in Japan, I have found a renewed passion for this style of food. The flavor this charcoal imparts to the food is so unique and oh so flavorful it is difficult to explain, it is just something you have to experience for yourself. This is definitely a style of food that I would love for everyone to be able to enjoy.
