Rosanjin Japanese Ogatan Binchotan Charcoal - 10kg
Rosanjin Japanese Ogatan Binchotan Charcoal - 10kg
Rosanjin is a Japanese Ogatan Binchotan (compressed sawdust white charcoal) produced by Asauchi Fuel, a manufacturer with over 150 years of history. The product serves as a reliable, cost-effective alternative to traditional branch Binchotan. Named after the Japanese artist and gourmet Kitaoji Rosanjin, this charcoal is formulated to provide consistent heat and minimal smoke for both professional and home konro grilling.
Production and Performance
Rosanjin A is manufactured from domestically sourced Japanese sawdust. The material undergoes a high-pressure compression and a high-temperature carbonisation process exceeding 800°C. This specific white charcoal finish creates a dense structure that combines the uniform, predictable shape of modern Ogatan with performance characteristics that mirror traditional Binchotan. The primary advantage of this process is stable and long-lasting heat.
Key Features
- Material: 100% compressed domestic Japanese sawdust, finished as white charcoal (Ogatan Binchotan).
- High Heat Output: Output reaches approximately 8,000 kilocalories for steady, intense grilling performance.
- Clean Combustion: High carbon purity results in minimal smoke and odour that will not interfere with the natural flavour of ingredients.
- Safety: The dense, uniform structure prevents the sudden popping and sparking often associated with lower-grade charcoals.
- Commercial Volume: This bulk carton ensures a consistent supply for restaurants or frequent home users.
The Meaning Behind Rosanjin
The brand name refers to the interconnected elements of Japanese culinary culture:
- Ro (炉): The kiln that creates the charcoal and the hearth where the food is cooked.
- San (山): The mountains that provide the natural timber resources.
- Jin (人): The craftsmen, the chefs, and the diners.
Award-Winning Original Packaging
Due to strict quality selection, Rosanjin A is produced in limited quantities. This bulk size is supplied in the manufacturer's original packaging. The carton features custom calligraphy by a Japanese artist and was recognised with the TOYAMA ADC Award 2025 for its design.

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.
