Binchotan Bar & Grille is where fireside cooking meets modern flair. At Fairmont Orchid's hottest new restaurant guests explore the long-running creative culinary exchange between Hawai'i and Japan at our Traditional northern Japanese grill utilizing centuries-old practices of robatayaki: fireside cooking, grilled to perfection. Originating from Hokkaid, Japan, robatayaki reflects the seafaring lifestyle: seasoned fishermen grilling up their fresh catch over the irori, or glowing white coals, served sizzling hot.
