CHEF SAT BAINS

Chefslocker started importing Japanese kitchen knives in 2015. In 2017 we were the first to import the original Japanese Konro (Hibachi) Grill into the UK.

After being a Chef for 10 years and travelling the world,
I saw a lack of authentic Japanese knives on the high street. I wanted something different from the mass produced brands - Something individual that would suit me and represent my food.

A few years into working with Japanese Blacksmiths and Suppliers I stumbled across the KONRO GRILL. We now supply some of the best Chefs, Restaurants and Hotels in Europe.

Thankyou for visiting

" It takes another level of skill to cook over charcoal "
Two Michelin Star Chef Claude Bosi Bibendum London - Speaking on Channel 4

In early 2017 Chefslocker introduced the Japanese Konro grill to the UK. Previously Chefs in the UK had a struggle to source these sought after grills directly from Japan or America at significant cost. Chefslocker is still the only genuine supplier of every size in much of Europe. As a consequence we also became largely responsible for publicising the many benefits of using Japanese style Binchotan charcoal.
