The special Japanese konro grill
This table grill was developed in Japan in the 18th century. At first, they were used as heating appliances. Later, it was discovered that the grills could not only serve as heaters but were also ideal for preparing Yakitori and other preparations. A Japanese-style grill is made of diatomaceous earth. This material can withstand extreme heat and holds that heat extremely well. When using this grill, the meat is placed only a few centimetres above the charcoal. As a result, the juice of the meat drips down to the grill and evaporates incredibly quickly. This vapour then soaks into the meat, giving it a delicious smoky flavour.
Binchotan charcoal
When you start using the Japanese grill, you need a special type of charcoal: Binchotan charcoal. This charcoal is made from a special Japanese oak, the Ubame oak. This charcoal is only produced in the south-west of Japan. Local people here make the charcoal by hand in large clay ovens. They then pull the moisture out of the wood very slowly, making the charcoal incredibly hard. This ensures that this solid charcoal burns much longer than any other charcoal. Because the product is a bit more expensive, it is recommended to use this charcoal only for the Japanese table grill and in small quantities.
