Kasai Nano Pro Konro Hibachi Charcoal Grill SVT-16075

The Kasai Nano Pro is a compact konro-style hibachi grill, made in the UK, designed to bring traditional Japanese charcoal cooking to a professional restaurant setting. At its core is a natural clay body that retains and reflects heat with considerably more efficiency than a conventional metal grill, meaning the cooking surface reaches the high temperatures needed for authentic yakitori-style searing while using less charcoal over the course of a service.

In practice, the clay construction makes a meaningful difference to how a kitchen manages fuel. Because the material holds heat rather than dissipating it, charcoal burns longer and more evenly, reducing how often a chef needs to replenish or adjust fuel during a sitting. The grill reaches the intense, dry heat that seals in natural meat flavours without introducing unwanted aromas — something that matters significantly when serving guests tableside or in an open kitchen where subtlety is part of the experience.

Key operational points worth noting:

• Clay body optimises heat retention for efficient, longer charcoal burns
• Reaches temperatures suitable for proper searing and authentic hibachi cooking
• Stainless steel frame provides durability and straightforward cleaning between covers
• Compact footprint suits tableside service, counter cooking or kitchen pass use
• Made in the UK, with a one-year parts and labour warranty

At 6.9kg and a modest footprint, this unit is well suited to restaurants running Japanese BBQ concepts, omakase or small-plate dining where individual or shared tableside grilling is part of the service. It is not intended for high-volume production cooking — for busier kitchens or larger covers, heavier-capacity konro models are available within the Kasai range.

If you are considering integrating konro cooking into your service and are unsure which size or configuration fits your setup, we are happy to talk through the options with you before you order.
