The Latest Model in the Popular "炙りや" Series
The "炙りや" series has been a long-selling cassette gas tabletop robatayaki grill beloved by many customers since its debut in 2016. Rather than cooking over a direct flame, its unique structure(*) heats food with a glowing radiant plate, producing a charcoal-like infrared effect that cooks meat and fish until plump and fragrant.
(*Patent No. 5254079)
Product Features
1. A Tougher, More Stylish Design
The new model brings the sturdy, refined look of Iwatani's outdoor stove "タフまる" into several parts of its design. The legs are now made from the same durable die-cast aluminum used on the "タフまる," improving load capacity and heat resistance. The legs are also 3 mm taller, which reduces the radiant heat reaching the tabletop during use for added peace of mind. The ignition knob and body finish have likewise been updated to match the "タフまる" design, dressing up the table stylishly whether outdoors or during an evening drink at home.
2. A Safer, Easier-to-Handle Water Tray
The water tray, which catches dripping fat, now has a "hemming" (folded-edge) treatment along its entire rim, folding the metal edge over so it feels smooth to the touch, improving both safety and ease of handling.
3. Optional Accessories Expand Cooking Possibilities
Starting in October 2026, dedicated optional accessories will be released one after another. For example, using a "half grate" together with a "skewer stand" lets users grill skewers and yakiniku at the same time, opening up more flexible ways to cook. A "half pot (tentative name)" and other accessories are also in development.
