Kinka Okunoto Konro Grill - 54cm (Medium)

The Kinka Okunoto Konro is the benchmark Japanese charcoal grill in our range — the artisanal diatomite grill trusted by professional chefs and restaurants. Each grill is hand-cut from a single block of natural diatomite quarried in the Okunoto region of Japan's Noto Peninsula.

The porous diatomite provides outstanding heat insulation, letting binchotan charcoal burn hotter for longer and cooking with a strong radiant heat that seals in juices. Sized for groups of 4–8 people, its large grilling surface makes it the choice of restaurants. If you're weighing up sizes, see our 31cm vs 54cm sizing guide.

Key Features

  • Authentic Okunoto Diatomite: Hand-cut from a single block of pure Okunoto diatomite, offering the highest heat retention in our konro range.
  • Professional Performance: The choice of restaurants for its consistent high heat and large grilling surface. Recommended charcoal use is approx. 2kg per session — browse our binchotan collection.
  • Radiant Heat Cooking: The diatomite walls cook food with infrared heat, sealing in moisture for a juicy result.
  • Artisanal Craftsmanship: Each grill is a unique, hand-finished piece of traditional Japanese craftsmanship.

Important Notes

For outdoor use only. Charcoal grills must be used in a well-ventilated outdoor space.

Fine cracks are normal and do not affect performance — diatomite expands and contracts with heat, so hairline cracks can appear within the first few uses. Our guide to cracks and the lifecycle of a konro grill explains what is normal and what is not.

Limited availability. Each grill is hand-cut, so stock can run short. If this item is out of stock, contact us to join the waiting list.

Returns policy. Please choose carefully. Due to the delicate nature of diatomite grills, we do not accept returns for change of mind.

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.
