If you've ever been to a ryokan (a traditional Japanese inn), you may have seen an irori. Irori are small sunken fire-pits that use charcoal to grill for group dinners. They're very uncommon in actual households as they were most popular during Japan's Showa period (1926-1989), so they're looked at as quite rare and valuable. Capable of grilling skewers, nabe hot pots, fish, and even heating up sake, they can make for a fun communal grilling experience.
Now thanks to Irori Honpo, an irori specialty store, you can have you very own multi-faceted mini irori to whip up Japanese grilling delicacies in your home or take on the go with you!
Called the Chirori, the table top-sized irori clocks in at 45 x 45 cm measurements, and is made from all the authentic parts of an actual irori, simply in a more compact size. It's retro all-in-one design allows you to cook up multiple Japanese inn favorites at home, or bring that menu to a camping trip or barbecue.
The Chirori is even equipped to heat up a cup of sake, and has a special setup to keep your skewers from turning on their own as you grill them over the charcoal pit.
The chirori is available from Irori Honpo's online store for 48,400 yen, and you can check out some videos on how to use it below.
