Matsuba Ogatan Japanese Compressed White Charcoal - 3kg

Matsuba is Japanese compressed charcoal in uniform, hollow-centred logs. It gives an even heat for about two to three hours a load and suits any konro or hibachi grill.

This 3kg box is enough for about three sessions on a small konro.

Allow 30–45 minutes to light in a chimney with natural firelighters. Leftover pieces can be extinguished in a pot and lit again next time; store indoors in a sealed container.

What's Included

  • 1 x Matsuba Ogatan Japanese Compressed White Charcoal - 3kg

Want more from your grill?

Matsuba is an everyday charcoal. For hotter, longer-burning embers with no flame, step up to binchotan: Kishu and Tosa are branch binchotan, the charcoal of Japanese yakitori and unagi restaurants; Rosanjin is the top grade of compressed charcoal, as close to binchotan as the method allows.

Key Features

  • Uniform Logs: Every piece is the same size and shape, so loads are easy to plan.
  • Hollow Centre: The central hole lets air through the log for an even burn.
  • Reusable: Extinguished in a pot, unburnt pieces light again next session.

Use & Care
  • User guide: Setting up, using and caring for your konro grill.
  • Lighting binchotan: Dense white charcoal takes longer to light than regular charcoal — our guide shows the safe way.
  • Ventilation: Use your konro outdoors or in a well-ventilated space only — never in an enclosed room.
  • Water: Never pour water on a hot konro — sudden temperature change can crack the body. Let the coals burn down or remove them safely.
  • Reuse: Binchotan can be snuffed out in an airtight metal container and relit next time.
