Do any of you keep charcoal in your water kettles? It's standard practice in Japan to put a couple of sticks of charcoal inside the electric water heaters and in the rice cookers. You can purchase packets with 3-4 sticks, each about 2cmX10cm (1"x4") in 100Yen shops, convenience stores, supermarkets, etc.
