Launched in Nanjing in 2016, Fireworks Robatayaki has its head office in Kunshan, which is well received by diners. The appearance of fireworks in Nanjing also fills the gap in the type of Japanese food.
Robatayaki is a Japanese barbecue style that was originally popular in Hokkaido, where freshly caught seafood is grilled over charcoal and seasoned with only salt to preserve the original flavor of the seafood. The three important elements of Robatayaki are fresh ingredients, heat, and salt. Strictly speaking, Robatayaki is also a type of kappo cooking, in which the chef cooks the ingredients on the spot, and the diners can visually see the whole process of preparing the ingredients, grilling them, and serving them. The fireworks Robatayaki retains this characteristic, and the cooking station inside the restaurant is where the ingredients are grilled, and because of the high temperature of the charcoal fire, the grilled dishes are delivered by the chef in a vessel shaped like a boat oar.
Most of the ingredients are imported, and there are many seafood ingredients such as king crab, tuna, sea bream, prawns, sea urchin, and shellfish. However, most of the ingredients used for grilling are fish, shrimp, wagyu beef, and chicken. The charcoal-grilled meat has a charred aroma and a crispy texture. The different flavors of sea salt reflect the original flavor of the ingredients. Charcoal-grilled beef tongue, beef, crab legs, shrimp, etc. all have different flavors and are worth trying. Vegetables such as potatoes and lotus roots also have a burnt flavor after roasting.
Fireworks are not only grilled dishes, but also include appetizers, sushi, sashimi, and rice, but the cooking standard is generally not as good as that of general Japanese restaurants. Sashimi companion wasabi is available in two types: ready-made wasabi and freshly ground wasabi to meet the needs of different customers.
Although it is a restaurant that specializes in barbecue, you will also be required to take off your shoes to enter. After serving, the waiter will hand the customer a hot towel and introduce the menu to the customer, but there are also people who are criticized for the slow serving speed. In addition to the lobby seating area, there are also a small number of private rooms, so although there is more privacy, there is also a loss of opportunity to experience the robatayaki, so it is recommended that customers give priority to the hall seating. Due to the limited number of seats in the lobby, it is advisable to make a reservation in advance.
