I recommend the Shoyeido Kodachi. The ceramic heating element and the casing do not give scent. I don’t use the metal lid or metal heating tray that’s included, just a mica sheet.
The battery powered Shoyeido Kodutu isn’t very practical, less burn time, extremely small heating area, and lack of temperature control.
I just ordered a back-up Kodachi from Kohgen through Mr. Watarai, just $280 total with EMS. I asked him to remove the Japan local tax, ship EMS and bill my Paypal.
(¥33,000-3000+5,300[shipping]=¥35,300)
Yen to Dollar is great right now, through Paypal it is currently ¥127 for $1.
Email of Mr. Watarai is

If anyone wants to make a big purchase at Kohgen, nows the time while the Yen is weak, but unfortunately they don’t ship agarwood and kyara overseas, nor Seijudo’s Kyara Enju.
Just tell Mr. Watarai that you don’t want to use the Worldshopping third party, and that you prefer EMS, and the removal of the Japan Local Tax (which is built in to their prices).
