Tosa Binchotan Japanese White Charcoal - Small Cut (12KG)
Tosa Binchotan from Kochi is prized for its dense composition and clean burn, making it a superior choice for grilling. The high quality of Tosa Binchotan allows it to burn hotter and longer than other charcoals, providing a consistent heat source that is essential for professional cooking.
We offer two cuts of Tosa binchotan:
- Small cut (備德小) - Favoured for its easy lighting and ability to maintain high heat and durability.
- Quarter cut (備割) - Ideal for extended cooking, offering a sustained burn suitable for larger grills.
Traditionalists insist that true binchotan can only come from specific regions in Japan:
- Kishu (Wakayama)
- Tosa (Kochi)
- Hyuga (Miyazaki)
Significant differences in quality can result depending on the production region. Always verify the origin of your binchotan if it is not already stated.
Binchotan: what makes it special?
What is Tosa Binchotan?
Tosa binchotan is a type of Japanese charcoal that is known for its high quality. It is made from Ubame oak trees, which are grown in the Tosa region of Japan. Tosa binchotan is hard and dense, and it produces a metallic sound when struck. This makes it a superior choice for grilling, as it burns evenly and for a long time.
In Japan, there are three major sources of premium binchotan white charcoal. They are Kishu binchotan (Wakayama), Tosa binchotan (Kochi) and Hyuga binchotan (Miyazaki). Tosa binchotan is rated as one of the top three quality products.
