This product cannot be ordered at the moment.
With yakitori or teppanyaki, the smoke should never take over the flavour, and that is exactly why binchotan exists. This binchotan eucalyptus charcoal from BestCharcoal is Japanese white charcoal, fired from eucalyptus wood at very high temperature into a rock hard, almost metallic charcoal that gives off barely any smoke or smell. What remains is an intense, even infrared heat. You get a 7.5 kg bag, fully natural.
Where this charcoal really shines
The heat works from the outside in without your meat picking up any smoke or soot flavour, so the centre cooks through calmly while the outside caramelises. Handy if you are working with small skewers on your table bbq or shichirin grill and want the product itself to take the lead role.
- Rock hard charcoal that burns far longer than regular charcoal
- Pure heat with no off flavour, little ash and barely any sparks
- Reusable after extinguishing and drying
- 7.5 kg bag, 100% natural
How to fire it up
Give the lighting process time and use a chimney starter or gas torch, since firelighters alone usually cannot get this dense charcoal going. Once glowing, the temperature holds for a very long time. Afterwards close the vents, let the sticks dry and reuse them next time. If you want to compare the other variant, check out the binchotan Maitiew.
