Hibachi
Hibachi
Hibachi (/hiˈbɑːtʃi/; Japanese: 火鉢) is a traditional Japanese heating device. It consists of a round, cylindrical, or box-shaped open-top container, made from or lined with a heatproof material and designed to hold burning charcoal.
Etymology
The term "hibachi" comes from the Japanese words "hi" (火), meaning "fire", and "bachi" (鉢), meaning "bowl". Thus, "hibachi" literally translates to "fire bowl".
Usage
In English, the term "hibachi" is most commonly used to refer to a small portable grill inspired by the traditional Japanese hibachi. This type of grill is often used for outdoor cooking. In Japan, however, the term "hibachi" refers to the heating device described above, and not to the cooking grill.
