Click to learn more
Binchō-tan, also called white charcoal or binchō-zumi, is a type of charcoal traditionally used in Japanese cooking. Its use dates to the Edo Period, when, during the Genroku era, a craftsman named Bichū-ya Chōzaemon (備中屋 長左衛門) began to produce it in Tanabe,Wakayama. The typical raw material used to make binchō-tan in Japan is oak, specifically ubame oak.
Binchō-tan is known to burn long, clean, and incredibly hot and can be doused when finished cooking, left to dry and used again.

Charcoal that isn’t full of starter fluid, doesn’t stink, and you can reuse multiple times!? Say no more fam! I swear by this stuff. Great heat retention and distribution. Easy to light in a starter. No other charcoal comes close to this.

Great mix of different size pieces of binchotan charcoal. The fast shipping was much appreciated!
