Kishu Binchotan Charcoal - Active Coal for Water Purifying

 
 

The Active Binchotan Coals available at Onoda are delivered directly from an authorised Kishu Binchotan Burner. Kishu is the former name of Wakayama region where Binchotan production started in the late1600's. 

 
 

Kishu Binchotan Charcoal is made of Ubamegashi (academic name: Quercus phillyraeoides) that inhabits in a certain region of Japan. Ubamegashi woods are cut out by the burner himself in the forest nearby. Cutting the appropriate quantity of trees also keeps the balance to maintain the healthy cycle of the eco system in the forest.

 

Handmade kiln made by the burner himself

 

Kishu Binchotan charcoal is burned over 1000 degree in the kiln which make a coal extremely hard like a steel. Its surface has countless number of pores that absorb the unwanted element from the water.
