Place the charcoal in any bottle or pitcher, add tap water and watch while Kishu absorbs impurities while adding healthy minerals like calcium and magnesium to the water. With an amazing process starting from their artisans in Japan, Kishu has found an ecofriendly, plastic-free way to filter tap water. You can also get rid of your baking soda because Kishu Charcoal is a multitasker, filtering water and absorbing odors in your refrigerator as well. www.kishucharcoal.com By Ida Sameri Photography by Gabriella Nissen 64 L O C A L | august 15
