- 1
Prepare the marinade by whisking together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a medium mixing bowl until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Noin 2 min
Kokin vinkki: Ensure the brown sugar is completely dissolved to prevent it from burning on the grill and to allow the flavors to meld evenly.
- 2
Add the cubed chicken thigh pieces, shrimp, bell pepper chunks, zucchini slices, and whole shiitake mushrooms to the prepared marinade.
Noin 1 min
- 3
Gently toss the ingredients to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade, then cover the bowl.
Kokin vinkki: Use your hands for a more even coating, ensuring all surfaces are touched by the marinade.
- 4
Refrigerate the marinated ingredients for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate, or up to 30 minutes for a more intense taste.
Noin 15 min
Kokin vinkki: Avoid marinating shrimp for longer than 30 minutes, as the acid in the marinade can begin to break down its delicate texture, making it mushy.
- 5
If using wooden skewers, submerge them in water for at least 20 minutes while the ingredients marinate to prevent them from charring excessively on the grill.
Noin 20 min
Kokin vinkki: Soaking skewers also makes it easier to slide the cooked food off without sticking.
- 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, aiming for a temperature of approximately 200°C (400°F).
Noin 10 min
Kokin vinkki: A charcoal grill will impart the most authentic smoky robatayaki flavor, but a gas grill works wonderfully too. Allow sufficient time for the grill grates to heat thoroughly.
- 7
Thread the marinated chicken, shrimp, and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for an appealing presentation and to promote even cooking.
Noin 5 min
Kokin vinkki: Do not overcrowd the skewers; leave a small gap between each piece to ensure proper heat circulation and even cooking, preventing steaming.
- 8
Carefully place the prepared skewers onto the preheated grill grates.
Kokin vinkki: Lightly oil the grill grates before placing the skewers to prevent sticking.
- 9
Grill the skewers for 8-12 minutes, turning them every 2-3 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 74°C/165°F), the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the vegetables are tender-crisp with visible char marks.
Noin 12 min
Kokin vinkki: Cooking time will vary based on your grill's heat and the size of your ingredients. Look for a beautiful caramelization on the marinade.
- 10
Remove the cooked skewers from the grill and arrange them on a clean serving platter.
Kokin vinkki: Allow the skewers to rest for a minute or two before serving; this helps the juices redistribute in the chicken.
- 11
Garnish the skewers generously with freshly sliced green onion and toasted sesame seeds just before serving.
Noin 1 min
Kokin vinkki: Toasting sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan enhances their nutty flavor and aroma.

These Robatayaki Skewers are fantastic served with steamed white rice and a side of quick-pickled cucumbers for a refreshing contrast. For a complete meal, consider adding a simple miso soup. Pair with a crisp sake or a light-bodied white wine like Sauvignon Blanc. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like cherry tomatoes, eggplant, or even pineapple for a sweet and savory twist.
Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Reheat skewers gently in a microwave until warmed through, or in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 5-7 minutes to help retain some texture.
