BAMBOO CHARCOAL
A NATURAL LIFE ENHANCER

TAKESUMI no SATO was established in Miyazaki, in southern Kyushu, in 1996, to produce and promote organic bamboo products. With its mild climate, Miyazaki is home to Moso bamboo forests, a giant timber bamboo suitable for making charcoal.

TAKESUMI no SATO grows Moso bamboo in our own 5-hectare, JAS-organic certified bamboo forest without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, providing us with a reliable supply of safe raw materials for our bamboo charcoal and vinegar production.

Bamboo grows prolifically, requiring just a 4-year growth cycle to produce bamboo charcoal. Our production has a low environmental impact and is waste free, with the smoke being captured and distilled to make bamboo vinegar, and residual ash used as soil conditioner.
