Nippon Kodo Japanese Incense, Multicolor, One Size

I bought these in Japan 3 years ago. One of my favourite incense sticks ever. Subtle pervasive scent for those who like a natural wood resin based smell. low smoke. I’m still only half way through my box. Although outlay is higher than Indian or Chinese joss sticks - this is excellent value - and Hinoki (Japanese Cypress) is the one that first switched us on Japanese incense.

I love this. It has the same sort of smell as a wood fire using very old and dry wood. Just perfect.

Ottimo prodotto. Promosso!

connaissant un peu le japon, appréciant la rigueur des produits nippons, c'est en toute logique qu'il me paraît logique de commander directement au pays le plus apte à me satisfaire en respectant et la qualité irréprochable à son juste prix

今届きました、ひのきの香りがしないと書いてる方がいますが、ちゃんと程よいひのきの香りがします。 少し着火しにくいと書いてる方もいるように少しだけそうかなぁと思います。 でも約420本（Rufus ai,に聞いたらこのくらい入ってるらしい）入って、1000円ちょっとは安いと思います。

I can only reference what I know, so it may not be the ingredients exactly, but it's similar enough to what I know that I'll just reference that: this incense has a pleasant aroma of sweet frankinscence and a mild balancing from sweet wormwood when burning, but smells very floral in the box. This is the strongest of the three I've tried (also Moss Garden and Plum Blossom, both coreless, short style). The rest of my review is copy-pasted from the other two I've tried from this company because it is the same: I love all of the incenses from this company that I have tried (3), and they are all really nice, natural, and gentle. Great value too! I was pleasantly surprised because I was willing to accept it being less fragrant due to reviews, but I also have very sensitive smell and find most incenses to be overwhelming, so I wondered if it would actually be just right for me, and it is- for my whole family too. I only use all natural incenses, so it's not that I am used to artificial super-fragrances (I never use that type); the natural ones can be too much for me. They are shorter than regular bamboo core sticks, as they are coreless, so they need to be upright in a bowl with sand, or something that will not break them when inserted; they are delicate like all coreless incense. Also I love the packaging- all paper and subtle design, nice to open and close each time, and with inserts I can't read but they do look cute; they've become bookmarks (I just really like them). Really really nice. I will be buying from this company from this point on; I wish I had known about them earlier! I had been trying different companies with mixed results, but all three from this company are excellent and what I was hoping to find for years. Much respect to the family and its recipe: domo arigato.
