What is Binchotan?
Japanese white charcoal, also known as binchotan, is a traditional Japanese charcoal originating from the Edo period, made from Ubame Oak through a carbonizing process using moderately low temperature, then blasting the wood at the end to a blistering 1200 °C into a super hardened state. The blackened shiny-sheen wood pieces are mixed with a concoction of sand, earth, and ash onto it; the light coating of dust is where the name “white charcoal” originates. Binchotan is commonly marketed as water purification medium, and it is very effective at absorbing humidity and odors from ambient air.
Besides, Binchotan charcoal is used as Japanese premium barbecue. Binchotan gives that clean and smokey flavor to the meats. Because of the clean in flavor, binchotan charcoals go well with cooking unagi and skewered chicken (yakitori).
