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.
Omtrent 2 min
Kokkens tips: 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.

Gently toss the ingredients to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade, then cover the bowl.
Kokkens tips: 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.
Omtrent 15 min
Kokkens tips: 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.
Omtrent 20 min
Kokkens tips: 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).
Omtrent 10 min
Kokkens tips: 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.
Omtrent 5 min
Kokkens tips: 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.
Kokkens tips: 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.
Omtrent 12 min
Kokkens tips: 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.
Kokkens tips: 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.
Omtrent 1 min
Kokkens tips: Toasting sesame seeds briefly in a dry pan enhances their nutty flavor and aroma.

Hold den god
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.
