Rambutan fruitwood is cultivated sustainably in orchards. This high-temperature Binchotan coal burns longer than normal charcoal (but not as long as white Kishu Binchotan coal) with very little sparking and smoke. It has a very mild aroma which enhances the taste of the grilled food. Binchotan activated carbon is very popular in Asia. And for good reason: it is versatile and has many advantages!
- Binchotan ignites faster than other charcoal.
- Binchotan charcoal has an extremely long burning time at a constant high heat, very similar to briquettes.
- However, it produces much less smoke and considerably less ash. Premium-quality Binchotan coal produces little or no ash.
- Binchotan charcoal also develops infrared radiation during burning, which is said to give grilled food a special taste (Japanese "umami").
- In addition, Binchotan activated carbon is also suitable as a water filter (simply boil it with water), for ionisation and as an odour trap (e.g. in the refrigerator).
In Japan, Binchotan is mainly used for local dishes such as Yakitori (grilled chicken skewers), Unagi (grilled eel), Robatayaki and Yakiniku (grilled meat). But all other kinds of meat and even fish can also be grilled with it, achieving a unique taste thanks to Binchotan.
