Founded in Japan, Kinka is renowned for crafting traditional charcoal grills using Noto diatomaceous earth, a natural material sourced from the Noto Peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. Valued for its excellent heat insulation and heat retention, this unique material helps charcoal burn efficiently while delivering consistent cooking performance and authentic charcoal flavour.
Combining generations of Japanese craftsmanship with carefully selected natural materials, Kinka grills are trusted for their quality, durability, and ability to bring the timeless tradition of Japanese charcoal cooking to homes and restaurants around the world.
