紀州備長炭
Chef Shimoda places great emphasis on the choice of charcoal by only using the high-grade charcoal" Kishu Bincho Charcoal" from Wakayama, a strong, hard and heavy charcoal that produces a high-temperature, short, powerful fire for yakitori, whose unique far-infrared coating helps retain the flavour and juiciness of the meat.
