Charcoal remains as an integral part of Japanese life

By the Middle Ages, the method of high quality charcoal from Japan has been transmitted to China and some countries in the region. From there, a Japanese charcoal became famous around the world. Currently, in many rural areas of Japan, the fuel charcoal is still favored by the people.

In Japanese cuisine, charcoal has a significant role, it was to be the catalyst needed to help honor the original flavor of the food.

Minabe town of Wakayama Prefecture is famous place producing the best quality charcoal in Japan. Locals just choose Ubame trees - an oak varieties of them, have a lifespan of 20-40 years to produce coal as raw materials. This plant has the advantages of small trees, though they lived in for decades. Wood ubame very strong and so hard coal it burns longer and maintain a stable temperature for a long time.

Fireplace wood coal ubame must be built of natural stone on the red soil of local features. Wood ubame after cutting into short segments were put into the furnace during the 3 days. During this time, the oven door is sealed with bricks and clay, leaving only a few small holes to vent.

By the end of day 3, coal workers broke a clay oven door section to create space to help the air flow inside. At this point, the oven temperature should be raised to almost completely burnt wood, and heat will vaporize the remaining water out of coal. This is a very important step should only coal workers new experience for many years in charge. If the oven temperature is too low, the wood will not burn to the necessary lead to poor-quality coal, if the temperature is too high, the coal will be burned into ash. Workers based on the color change of the flame in the furnace to adjust the temperature.

It's time to unload the coal furnace, workers will fully open the oven door to heat the inside out. At this time, the temperature in the furnace up to 1200 ° C, the wood was charred orange and charcoal. Terrible heat escaping from the furnace forcing workers to stand by the oven door while raking coal 4 feet out. This is a very hard job that not everyone can tolerate.

Coal-fired oven temperature is very large

Shortly after getting out of the furnace, the coals glow stick was quickly buried in the ground to cool. Batch coal as complete. However, the batch of coal is said to be successful and good quality coal to meet specific criteria, including, most notably the cross bar to have a glossy black coal, the coal type the two bars together we have a sound like tinkling sound coo metal collide.

Japan has 70% of the area is forested so long ago that people were burning wood charcoal as fuel. Coal production from the Jomon, about 4,000 years ago.

Go to the Nara period, the eighth century, Emperor Shomu ordered the construction of a massive Buddhist works using charcoal as a source of primary fuel. That is the bronze Great Buddha statue at the temple Todaiji worshiped. The statue stands 14.7 meters, is considered Buddha statue in the world's biggest metal at that time.

In 2006, the researchers simulated the Buddha statues method by creating a new statue 1/30 the size of real objects. They are for copper and coal in a furnace, burning charcoal to cook at. The heat from charcoal to melt copper. The ancients may have used this simple way to cook at the giant Buddha statues.

Charcoal plays an important role in food culture

Heian period, the nobility and upper classes began to use charcoal for fuel heating. This coal quality at a very high demand, so the Japanese mostly use wood to coal heating to maintain thermal coal is long, do not smoke and sparks students flammable.
