Restaurant grade Japanese style Binchotan charcoal made from natural hardwood grown in Laos. This charcoal is very close to the white oak Kishu binchotan that comes from Japan for fraction of the price. This actual charcoal is used in most robata yakitori restaurants in Japan and is preferred by most chefs. 11lbs. box include mixed size ranging from 2"-10" Ash Content: 0.8%, Moisture: 2%, Fixed Carbon: 90%, Calorific Value:8000kcal/kg. Binchotan charcoal is a type of activated charcoal made from oak wood. It is prized for its high quality, long-lasting performance, and various uses, including: Water filtration: Binchotan is commonly used in water filtration systems to remove impurities, chemicals, and odors from drinking water. Air purification: Binchotan can be used as an air purifier by removing pollutants and odors from the air. Grilling: Binchotan is used as a fuel for grilling due to its ability to produce high heat, low ash, and minimal smoke. Deodorization: Binchotan can be used as a natural deodorizer for removing unpleasant odors from a variety of materials, such as clothes and shoes. Quality: Binchotan is made from high-quality oak wood and is kiln-fired at high temperatures, resulting in a hard, long-lasting product with a high surface area and greater adsorption capacity compared to other types of activated charcoal.

I'd been using the thaan charcoal for a while now which is inexpensive and works ok. However the bricks are not reusable and I hated wasting the product. These are definitely an investment, but you're going to get a consistent burn, and the pieces can be used over and over again until they are truly spent. I think in the long run you can end up saving money using these as opposed to single use thaan style charcoal.

Everyone be quiet.I have searched long a far for a charcoal that burns this hot without leaving residue on my food.This is the holy grail of charcoal.It even sounds like pottery when you tap it against something hard.

Large, long pieces perfect for a yakitori grill. I use a chimney with a little regular lump charcoal to get it started. Easy to extinguish by smothering in a covered bucket and can be reused multiple times.

On a price per pound basis, this is a good alternative to the higher grades of Japanese binchotan. I didn't have a way to measure the heat, but I don't believe it got as hot as the more expensive grades, which was not a problem. People still loved the food and I'll buy another box. There was a bit of popping on some of the sticks, which probably indicates a bit of moisture in some of the pieces. There was very little smoking once the coals got hot and there was no foul odor. The charcoal was a mix of sizes, ranging from small scraps about the size of a pinkie finger to larger chunks of about 7" long x 3" diameter.In summary, this is a perfectly acceptable alternative to the oak tree Japanese binchotan. I think I may experiment by adding a bit more than with the Japanese product and will be more aggressive about rotating hot coals. I'll update my review after using the next box.

I’ve compared the Bincho Grill charcoal to a real Binchotan. In the photos, Bincho Grill is on the left, Binchotan is on the right.Bincho Grill smell: very slightly smokey and woodyReal binchotan smell: imperceptibleDensity: about 20% less dense than real Binchotan by my estimationBincho Grill colour: black to whitish surface, shiny black on fresh cross sectionReal binchotan colour: never whiter than dark gray, darker insideSound: the real binchotan resonates much better. It has a higher pitch when struck against each other, with a much firmer rendition. Bincho grill is lower pitched and muted in comparison.Users give Bincho grill lower marks on flavor than comparable options and I agree.The lower density and muted pitch indicate that Bincho grill is not dense enough to burn as hot as the real binchotan. The smell and colour differences indicate that it may impart too much flavor on the food and thus takes away the full potential of your dish and also breaks away from the Japanese grilling tradition.However, it’s still charcoal 😉
