There is Japanese Binchotan, and there is Kishu Binchotan. Kishu is the reigon where Binchotan was originally made. Japan produces 1800 tons of Binchotan annually, yet only 3% is from Kishu. It is so premium that there is a movement to distinglish Kishu Binchotan from others (from Japan), per Wikipeida.

What is Binchotan

Binchotan (備長炭), also known as Japanese white charcoal, is considered the most premium charcoal used for traditional cooking. It is produced using Japanese Ubame oak trees in a special Bincho Klin at around 1000 degrees Celsius, for up to 14 days. A very time-consuming process. 

The resulting charcoal is almost 100% carbon, Binchotan therefore producing very little smoke when burning, and leaving little ash and have a special metallic sound when tapping together. It is able to produce a very high heat (about 1200 degrees) and maintain a steady heat release for serval hours. Pure (without odour), high heat and long-lasting heat release really brings out the favour of the food, as a result, Binchotan is loved by top Japanese Yakitori restaurants. 

The total production of Binchotan in Japan is about 1800 tons per year. Consumers should pay attention to those non-authentic “Binchotan” produced outside of Japan with timber other than Ubame Oak using non-traditional techniques. Such charcoal cannot produce enough heat and burns out very quickly.

====

Note

  • Due to its high hardness, it is quite hard to light up the charcoal. It is advised to first light up the charcoal on a gas burner before transferred into the grill.
  • Use outdoors or in a well ventilated area
  • The charcaol will light up for hours, please make sure the fire is fully extinglished after use.

Too Cute!!!
Color: Fox-Crocodile, Color: Fox-Crocodile
This was a pleasant surprise and especially for the price!!! You get a 2 pack of toys!!!! They are absolutely adorable and made to last!!! Soft and lightweight!!! Has a nice squeakiness which my dog adores. I appreciate that they are made to fold up and Velcro so they become very compact. You can store them so easily and/or slide in your purse, traveling bag or leave one in your car. They fold up to be the size of folded socks. I recommend.

Our pup loves it (to pieces)!
Color: Fox-Crocodile
Fun toy for our playful pup, but nothing indestructible. She finds a seam and in days, the toy is in bits. Lucky for us, she still enjoys playing with parts! Package of 2. One down, one to go!

Holds Up Well
Color: Fox-Crocodile
My dog loves this toy and after several months of heavy use he has yet to rip it apart like he's done with every other toy I've bought him. He has a hard time grabbing it with his teeth to play his usual tug of war games.

Cute
Color: Fox-Crocodile
I love the interactive toys, BUT my dogs are either too destructive or smart because they’ve ripped the little treat part, so I can’t hide stuff in there anymore. Otherwise, they still play tug of war with it. Probably better for smaller or lazy dogs.

Great Interactive Toy for My Dogs
Color: Fox-Crocodile
I have four dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and these toys have been a fun addition to our home. The two dogs in the photos were the first to test them, and they immediately started sniffing, searching, and working to get the treats hidden inside. The toys are soft, well-made, and provide great mental stimulation. I like that they keep my dogs entertained while encouraging them to use their noses and problem-solving skills. The treat compartments work best with small training treats, and the toys have held up well during regular play. Overall, this has been a great enrichment toy for my pack. If you have small or medium-sized dogs that enjoy treat puzzles and interactive toys, I would definitely recommend giving these a try. The two pups in the photos approved them right away, and the other two quickly joined the fun!
