Kenkawai

Kenkawai’s remarkable selection is infused by aesthetics, tradition and nature. Translated from the Japanese, KEN-KA-WAI signifies “health” and “being in flux”. This store in the Belgian quarter is one of my favourites, and not without reason. It has delicate ceramics and paper goods, yummy cosmetics and daily-use items for your kitchen and home. Kenkawai is particularly proud of its own-brand kishu binchotan, finely pored charcoal made of holm oak. Known also as Japanese or white coal, it’s traditionally used to filter and purify air and water.
