As Binchotan is a natural product, the weight may vary by a few grams. Due to the natural origin of the product and the density of the wood, the shape and length of the sticks may vary (sticks or small sections).
WARNING:
All our Binchotan are labeled by the Wakayama Prefecture in Japan and they all bear the yellow certification sticker, as a sign of their authenticity.
Beware of counterfeits, 90% of the Japanese Binchotan coals from Kishu sold in France are actually from China, Indonesia or Laos.
If they do not carry the approval (yellow dot), you are probably dealing with coals produced outside of Japan and activated with chemical solvents. Always demand the certification label with your Kishu Binchotan coals.
