First there was fire. Then, the Kasai.

Kasai Konro charcoal grills are inspired by world famous Japanese design. They’re a traditional heat source used to make delicious meats, fish, and vegetables.

Kasai Konro, also known as Hibachi or Shichirin, has been around since time began. Their function has evolved but the thoughtful design and compact style lives on, with a modern twist. Kasai is the perfect size for any surface capable of withstanding high temperatures. Kasai offers more versatility, better flavour and a more enjoyable cooking experience than traditional cookers.

Japanese Inspired. Truly British.

Our British Made Kasai Grills are ideal for home use and professional kitchens with its brushed stainless steel finish, floating feet, handles, and sustainable mineral tiles.

Its compact design fits any surface, offering versatility, better flavour, and an enjoyable cooking experience. Perfect for grilling meats, fish, and vegetables, it also excels as a sous vide finishing tool.

Our Brand Ambassador Michelin star Head Chef, Tommy Banks, uses our Kasai while cooking at home, and in both of his Michelin Star restaurants; The Black Swan at Oldstead, and Roots in York.

“I’ve been delighted to work as brand ambassador for the Kasai Grill. I really love this style of cooking. It’s been great being able to be part of the team, working to develop not only the product but the accessories as well, as I feel these really take the Kasai to the next level.”
