The YAKINIKU MEDIUM Rectangular Shichirin PRO is a konro-style tabletop grill designed to deliver an authentic and user-friendly Japanese grilling experience at home. Its rectangular shape is particularly well-suited for linear cooking, such as yakitori skewers, while remaining versatile for a variety of dishes. Its design combines a ceramic structure with a modern finish, featuring a metal cooking grate and wooden handles.

This Pro version stands out for its advanced air circulation system and double-walled construction, designed to promote stable and consistent combustion. The more consistent oxygen supply helps maintain a high temperature over a longer period, which is well-suited for controlled charcoal cooking, particularly with binchotan. The inclusion of a charcoal grid also makes it easier to create different heat zones depending on the food or cooking pace.

In terms of maintenance and durability, this model features a removable ash tray, which simplifies cleanup after use. The two-piece ceramic construction helps distribute heat more evenly while reducing stress on the material, thereby minimizing the risk of cracks. The grill thus strikes a good balance between practicality, thermal stability, and easier maintenance compared to many more traditional models.

In use, this Japanese grill offers direct, intense, and precise cooking, which is particularly well-suited for small cuts of meat, vegetables, seafood, and skewers. Its rectangular shape makes it naturally suited for yakitori, but it can also be paired with accessories like a teppanyaki plate or yakitori skewers to expand its capabilities. As with any shichirin, it is best suited for attentive cooking in small batches, where heat control and the pace of service are integral parts of the experience.
