Tobeya & Tsumura Beyond being just charcoal, Kishū Binchōtan is celebrated by world-renowned chefs as the highest-quality charcoal on Earth. In the town of Kihoku, you have the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the living tradition of this "black diamond." At Tsumura, a traditional kiln run by master craftsmen, each piece of charcoal is forged with passion and precision. This premium charcoal then travels to Tobeya, a refined Kappo-style restaurant where it is used to elevate local ingredients into culinary masterpieces. The secret lies in the powerful far-infrared rays emitted by the Binchōtan. This intense heat instantly seals in the "umami," creating a perfectly crisp, aromatic exterior while keeping the inside incredibly succulent and juicy. Experience the harmony of two masters: the charcoal-making artistry of Tsumura and the exquisite culinary skills of Tobeya. Come and savor the true bounty of Kishū—a flavor that can only be found right here.
