This log-shaped charcoal is made from various oak that combines the best aspects of lump charcoal and briquettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe smoke it produces gives a distinct enticing flavour. The heat of Binchotan is so intense that it could actually create a hole in a pan like an infrared ray hitting the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis charcoal is dried and stacked into brick ovens and taken to four different temperatures: two hundred degrees, four hundred degrees, five hundred fifty degrees, and nine hundred degrees Celsius, for 8 weeks. For the last stage, they rapidly add air so that the heat reaches one thousand two hundred degrees Celsius, which carbonizes it and permanently changes the charcoal's internal structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the difference between Hyuga-Binchotan (日向備長炭) and\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Kishu-Binchotan (紀州備長炭)?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe major difference between Hyuga-Binchotan and Kishu-Binchotan, is their place of origin. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKishu-Binchotan\u003c\/span\u003e is produced in Wakayama Prefecture, located in the central part of Japan, while \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHyuga-Binchotan\u003c\/span\u003e is produced in Miyazaki Prefecture, which is located on the western side. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAdditionally, the type of wood used as the material for Binchotan differs between the two regions.
