Buy Konro grill

The uniqueness of the Konro grill

The Konro Grill was developed in Japan in the 18th century. The grill's grates initially served as a heating appliance. Until the Japanneer discovered that this grill was also ideal for preparing Yakitori and other foods. The Konro Japanese grill is made of diatomaceous earth. This material has the natural ability to disperse heat and retain it extremely well. Because the food you place on the grill is only a few centimetres above the charcoal, the juice drips down to the grill and evaporates at lightning speed. This vapour soaks into the food and this gives a fantastic smoky flavour to the meat. Delicious!

Binchotan charcoal

To use the Konro grill at its best, you absolutely need Binchotan charcoal Needed. Binchotan is traditional Japanese charcoal made from a Japanese oak tree; the Ubame oak. This charcoal is only produced in southwestern Japan. Here, it is handmade by locals in large clay kilns and then the moisture is very slowly drawn out of the wood. This makes the charcoal incredibly firm and strong and it burns much longer than any other type of charcoal. Because the charcoal burns so long and retains heat well, it is wise to use it only for the Konro grill and in small quantities. This is because it is quite an expensive product. We therefore offer an affordable alternative, namely the white BestCharcoal Binchotan. This is a charcoal from Indonesia and it has almost the same properties as the Japanese variety.
