Hokkaido's century-old grilling style takes center stage in this new Japanese resto in BGC


Nikkei is known for introducing the freshest bites and bringing surprising fusion flavors of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine, but with the newly-opened Nikkei Robata in Bonifacio Global City, Robatayaki takes the spotlight.

In Japanese cuisine, Robatayaki is a cooking method similar to barbecue, in which meats are cooked over hot charcoal.

If the meat can be skewered and blazed at Nikkei Robata, then consider it the restaurant's piece de resistance. Nikkei Robata's grilled meat selection is even better when paired with Nikkei's old specialties, such as expertly prepared sushi and citrus-seared ceviche, or end your meal on a high note with Nikkei's selection of craft beer and cocktails.

The new addition to the Nikkei restaurants is located in the heart of Uptown Parade in BGC. The interior is as Japanese as it gets, with wooden chairs and tables paired with tile walls.

Now, to the best part, here are GMA News Online's food recommendations for when you visit Nikkei Robata.
