Kishu Binchotan Charcoal
Couldn't load pickup availability
While North American lump charcoal has a carbon content of about 75%, binchotan has a carbon content of between 93 and 96%. This means no room for impurities could negatively taint the flavour of your food. Aside from the flavourful puffs created by drippings that hit the charcoal, you get a pure heat source with minimal smoke. The intense heat produced by binchotan quickly gives the exterior of the meat a delicious crust and leaves the flavourful morsels incredibly juicy.
That high carbon content also means that starting binchotan can be challenging. Ideally, you want a charcoal chimney and a big wad of newspaper to get it going.

ABOUT THE GRADES
Nami (“regular”) - ★★★
This one is nice and small, and very dense. They are almost like a chopped version of komaru (see below). They do not last as long as others because of the smaller size, but they burns more cleanly.
TIPS FOR STARTING:
- Place your binchotan on a bed of already lit softer charcoal like the ogatan or even lump charcoal if you have it.
- Make sure that your coal is neatly placed in the chimney starter, all running in the same direction, and place the whole thing on a propane burner for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Use a hair dryer, fan, or shop-vac to blow air on the coals like a blacksmith’s bellows.
Due to international shipping regulations, we cannot send charcoal to customers outside of Canada. We apologize for the inconvenience.
