Due to handmade production, Maruwa Kogyo is currently unable to keep up with demand, making this product difficult to obtain.

I was fortunate enough to purchase this last month, but I am selling it because I am moving and will not be able to use it.


[Explanation]

Diatomaceous earth rock, the material for cut-out shichirin, has moisture regulation properties (maintaining a constant humidity by absorbing and releasing moisture) as its primary characteristic, along with deodorizing and fire-resistant effects. In relation to shichirin, diatomaceous earth stores heat when heated and emits far-infrared rays, resulting in high thermal efficiency and delicious grilled food.

The manufacturing methods for shichirin can be broadly divided into the kneaded method and the cut-out method.
The kneaded method involves crushing diatomaceous earth into powder, kneading it, and then molding it in a form. This method allows for mass production and can be made at a lower cost, but the shichirin becomes heavy and may crumble from the outside as it deteriorates.

On the other hand, the cut-out method involves carefully cutting out each piece from blocks of diatomaceous earth mined from the ground using specialized chisels, and then firing them in a wood-fired kiln for two days and two nights. This method utilizes natural diatomaceous earth, resulting in very high thermal efficiency, durability, and surprisingly light weight.
