Kinka Okunoto Konro Grill Starter Set - 31cm (Small)
Get everything you need to start authentic Japanese barbecue with the Kinka Okunoto Konro Grill Starter Set. This bundle is built around the authentic, artisanal diatomite grill trusted by top chefs and featured on Australian cooking shows. It’s the perfect all-in-one package for bringing the hibachi experience home.
The grill is hand-cut from solid blocks of Okunoto diatomite, prized for its incredible heat insulation. This allows the included Tosa Binchotan charcoal to burn hotter for longer, cooking food with a powerful radiant heat that seals in juices and develops deep, savoury umami.

What Made Okunoto Konro Grills / Hibachi Grills So Special?
- Okunoto konro grills are frequently seen in cooking competitions. Popular in Japanese barbeque restaurants.
- Uses diatom mud from the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture.
- Diatom mud is an excellent heat insulator. Walls of the grill are over 5cm thick.
- When used with binchotan, the heat is high, consistent, and concentrated. Provides an exceptional barbeque experience.
- Suitable for grilling wagyu, yakitori, fish, vegetables, and various barbeque recipes.
Use and Maintenance
- Avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Always grill outdoors in well-ventilated areas.
- Take proper care to extinguish the fire. Do not use water. If water is absorbed, diatom mud becomes brittle. It will also lose its durability.
- When cleaning the grill, do not use water. Instead, gently remove the ash and food residue.
