Autumn Takibi Time Guide
A bite has returned to the air. Evening darkness comes sooner and sooner; the sun almost eagerly slips below the horizon. Above us, the trees reach their most colorful peak before relinquishing their leaves to the ground. Fall has arrived, leaving behind the hot, long days of summer. The season offers arguably the perfect setting for a campfire – with potential for a luminous harvest moon as a bonus. Read on for a comprehensive guide to creating a fireside gathering, what we like to call Takibi Time.
Takibi means bonfire in Japanese – and may also be familiar to users of the Takibi Fire & Grill, Snow Peak’s bestselling portable firepit. Takibi Time is a moment or gathering around the campfire, when the stresses of regular life fall away as we look into the flames, laugh with friends or roast a s’more. It gives a name to a human experience that’s been part of our collective psyche for a millennium: the urge to circle a fire for warmth, community and safety. Within the context of Snow Peak-style camping, Takibi Time is a pinnacle moment, supported by a thoughtfully-designed collection of campfire gear.
The Takibi Fire & Grill is the heart of Takibi Time. The set comes with a baseplate to protect the ground, folding firepit, grill bridge and grill net, all of which fold down flat for storage and transport in the included canvas bag. It's a natural starting place and easy building block for those wanting to carefully build their setup further over time. Simple accessories like the Folding Torch, Fireside Gloves and Fire Tool Set simplify the process of starting and maintaining your fire.
If you’re planning to host a group of friends, the Jikaro Firering Table is the next step. It encircles the firepit, offering a surface for beverages, grilling accessories and more. Its IGT compatibility allows for further customization depending on group size and interest. Given autumn’s less predictable weather, a tarp is a good insurance policy for unexpected rain. The Takibi Tarp Hexa Set M comes with a fire-resistant liner, making it campfire compatible. Its simple two pole design makes set-up a breeze. Complete your cozy covered space with comfortable seating like the Low Beach Chair, or even the Campfield Futon. Finishing touches like Mini Hozukis and Tabletop Lanterns can add an extra welcoming glow.
Bring your Takibi Time experience to another level with a tasty meal to share. Whether you’re using a cast iron pot over the coals or using the grill top for a communal barbecue, there’s ample options for a delicious meal. Add accessories like the Sandwich Skillet for extra versatility. Once you have the essential cookware, plan your menu using our catalog of recipes as a resource. Find meals inspired by the autumn season plus delicious options for any time of year.
