Description
Kishu Binchotan from Wakayama Japan.These Binchotan's comes directly from the furnace crystallizing these Japanese Holm Oak at over 1000 Celsius.
After 120 hours of high intense heat it comes out of the furnace sounding like glass and its color transformed to whitish grey thus the name White Charcoal.
PHOTOS: The photos we have posted are NOT exactly the Binchotans that you'll be getting meaning we can't be taking pictures for every bunch. NOTE: You are buying these Kishu Binchotan for its authenticity, effectiveness and weight and NOT it's style or looks. If it's style or looks you want there are any others that are selling them for this reason.
If you receive these activated white charcoal and they are black and cleaned you'll never really know if they were once used. At the least they have been somewhat used for someone had to have put it in water and washed them.
When you purchase our Kishu Binchotan, you'll get it in its natural state straight out of the furnace with its Whitish Grey ashes and you'll have to wash these yourself. When washing, get a large bucket and fill them with lots of water. Now get a Tawashi brush which for this promotion we'll include and scrub away until they start turning nice & clean
intermittently rinsing it under running water checking to see if no more ashes run. DO NOT EVER USE DETERGENT when washing Kishu Binchotan! After washing with water air dry or better yet whenever possible dry under sunlight for extra UV cleaning.
These Tawashi Brushes we offer are while supplies last. They are authentic and made of twigs and not of plastic or silicone. They are specifically made for wet scrub cleaning. If you're reading this short paragraph about these Tawashi Brushes, supplies are still available and we'll place one in the box with your order of Kishu Binchotan.
Now about that ash mixed water. Do not dump it! Use it on your plants or on your oily skin or for washing your organic vegetables. There are many usage for this Activated Ash Water. Check online and get creative.
As for your now clean rinsed Kishu Binchotan, after completely drying, use it as a natural water filter or as a dehumidifier. Stack it in your aquarium, the corner of your bathroom, arrange it in your flower arrangement display or simply place near your bed's headboard or any place where the air is a bit stale such as your refrigerator and of course it's great for indoor BBQ cooking. Cooking rice has never been so pure. When used for BBQ and after cooking is done avoid dousing with water and if by all means possible cut its air to extinguish. Many more information about Binchotan and its use can be found online.
Our Kishu Binchotan is not perfectly round like those that are commercialized and may come in many shapes and forms and never will it have hole right down the middle. Trees never grow this way! When ordering y
ou won't get less meaning if you order a pound you'll get a pound or a tiny bit more but never less. Also note that you can cut and change its form. Check online for method of cutting Binchotan.
Feel free to ask any questions you may have but please do so prior to ordering.
We look forward to serving you. Thank you!
