Been a good 7 years since I visit Japan. I recently saw this recently on social media, basically salting seafood and placing them next to the fire to cook on a skewer, where can I go to eat this in Japan?

We stayed at Honke Bankyu ryokan up in the Nikko area and dinner was served like this— at your own hearth. Kind of like being on a cookout, but with many more amenities haha.

Look up robatayaki. Common in Fukuoka but you can find it in other cities for sure.

I saw a food stand with those yesterday at a local summer festival. Probably a common place to find it but, can also try searching for 塩焼き(/shio-yaki = salt-grilled). In my area, the type of fish is usually Ayu, so 鮎の塩焼き(ayu no shioyaki = salt grilled ayu), or maybe trout/rainbow trout (masu or niji-masu)

A lot of summer festivals do this. This is ayu. It’s a river fish. Not one of my faves, but it’s a summer matsuri staple.

Lots of local izakayas do this. I can think of three right in my neighborhood in Kanagawa. If you do order the ayu (sweetfish) or other fish grilled on a stake, order right away and snack on other foods because this slow grilling takes awhile (20 minutes or so, not bad).

This is ayu, a river fish. So freshwater not saltwater
I think this one is pretty close to what you want.

If you have a naga hibachi you can cook like this yourself
Went to this exact restaurant in Fukuoka and it was unreal, great service, great food, great atmosphere. The type of cuisine is robata
Otaki in Yamagata City has this. It’s a waterfall and swimming hole with a gift shop and restaurant. A great way to cool down in summer. I go often.
There is a nice restaurant in Tokyo called Tadenoha.
There is also Yanagiya to the west, at one time, the highest rated restaurant on Tabelog.
You can often find this method at matsuri festivals on the street. Ayu fish is best in summer.
I ❤️ AYU
