Safe Use & Care
For outdoor use only. The grill body becomes extremely hot. Always place it on the included wooden base and handle with care. A grill of this size typically requires around 1kg of binchotan per session. Never use water to extinguish charcoal inside the grill; let it burn out naturally or use a dedicated charcoal extinguisher pot.
A Note on Natural Materials
This grill is manufactured with a natural diatomite mud interior. Minor cosmetic imperfections, such as small chips, hairline cracks, or an uneven texture on the interior clay, are a normal and celebrated characteristic of this handcrafted material. These do not affect the grill's performance or safety.

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.
