What yakiniku (japanese bbq) means
Where it comes from
Yakiniku means "grilled meat." Its modern Japanese restaurant form developed with strong Korean barbecue influence. Fuel, service style, cut selection, and provenance vary; neither charcoal nor single-origin beef is inherent in the term.
How it works
Bite-size cuts arrive raw and you grill them yourself at the table. Menus are organized by cut, so you order specific parts of the animal rather than a single steak.
What to look for
Confirm each cut's origin because one menu can mix Japanese, Australian, and domestic Wagyu. Thin pieces cook quickly, but seconds and color are not safety tests; follow safe-temperature guidance and keep raw-meat utensils away from cooked food.
