Barbecue is a way of cooking food on the heat of smoldering coals, and the name of the dish. But most importantly, it is a special culture whose adherents won’t make a move without a complete set: a grill and a table on which to lay oven mitts, foil, grates, a barbecue pack, a bag of coals, kindling fluid, dishes and a bottle of good wine. In a restaurant barbecue presupposes the presence of a special oven. It is a grill of the closed type, working on natural birch charcoal, where there is an opportunity to maintain exactly the degree of roasting, which the guests wished. In some cases you will find a grid in the middle of the table.

The uniqueness of the Japanese BBQ is that it allows you to use almost any food. All kinds of meat cuts are served with vegetables such as cabbage, onions, and eggplant. In Japan, the most popular type of grilled dish is grilled beef. Some traditional restaurants serve only beef. You can expect to find wagyu beef, which is the most expensive and premium type of beef. However, most places have a varied menu that is not limited to pieces of succulent beef. You will also find beef tongue, intestines, tripe, liver, shoulder, short rib, pork, chicken, and even fish and seafood. Usually chefs fry scallops in the shells, often with a piece of butter inside and eat it with the mantle, which is considered a recognized and beloved delicacy. Moreover, cooks understand meat, and it’s definitely worth checking out their sauces for roasted meats on the fire. These sauces are liquid, rich in flavor and aroma, indescribably sweet and salty, with caramelized onions, cooked fruit, garlic and sesame seeds. The common name for these sauces is tare.

As you can see, Japanese barbecue is a great opportunity to taste something new and delicious. We’ve compiled a list of places in Singapore where you’ll eat the best barbecue of your life!
