TAKETARO is a bamboo charcoal brand distributed by our company. TAKETARO bamboo charcoal products are of superior quality using the highest grade bamboo charcoal materials that are tested by modern scientific methods. We started bamboo charcoal business due to our passion to provide customers with the highest quality (Japanese quality) bamboo charcoal products.

So Why Do We Say That? In the present industry, due to the industrial demand and fast time to meeting orders, various companies have chosen to short change the bamboo charcoal process by reducing the charcoal processing time and steps. This leads to inferior products below the standards set by the Japanese or what is called by the Japanese as Bamboo Charcoal 竹炭 or Take Sumi or Chikutan.

Our company is motivated by the need to provide customers with products that is value for money. We aim to bring high quality products that are currently being sold and used in Japan to our customers in Singapore and rest of the world. Our company is also backed by Engineering Professional that is trained in various advanced materials including those used in aircrafts.

Our TAKETARO range which receives very good response and feedback from customers. It was completely sold out during its launch within a few weeks in Singapore!  It is also an innovative range with Ag+ Silver Ions embedded inside the bamboo charcoal which gives it antibacterial property. A First and Only in Uniquely Singapore!
