ATTENTION :
All our Binchotan charcoal is certified by the Wakayama Prefecture in Japan and bears the yellow certification sticker, a mark of its authenticity. Beware of counterfeits; 90% of Kishu Binchotan charcoal sold in France actually comes from China, Indonesia, or Laos.
If they don't bear the certification mark (yellow sticker), you're likely dealing with charcoal produced outside of Japan and activated with chemical solvents. Always insist on the certification label with your Kishu Binchotan charcoal.
