What’s Ji am? A type of agarwood?

Kinam, Kynam, Kyara....
A special kind of agarwood. Very aromatic, rare, and expensive.

Dr. Incense Traditional Tarakan

Has some sinking, but not the Kinam version.
Leaves a nice aura of Tarakan agarwood scent, even after it was lit.

A very good stick

Burned some sandelwood and agarwood from rbo. this time on the stove gas pit. Works surprisingly well!

Dr. Incense Assam Sticks.

It must be Northern Assam from my guesstimation.

Not richly agarwoody as could be, as in sinking wood, but it does fill the room with some meditative Indian Oudh smoke.

I do like these sticks🙂

This morning I went up the Baieido Premium ladder once again.

I started with Horyu, then Kokonoe, then Kunsho, then Kohen..... I skipped Koshiboku and went straight to Kyara Kokoh.

Every time I do this, the Kyara scent pops out very evident.


Then this afternoon, I was able to squeeze-in some time to heat some chips. Yamadamatsu SS grade, and Kyarazen Brunei heartwood.

I love it when I fill the room with scents

At the suggestion of a friend I recently bought some wild Vietnam triple super agarwood from Tony Bolton. Excellent smelling dark crassna, I'm quite happy. I also received a generous sample of Vietnam Nha Trang super sinking which I heated this evening. Very much along the same lines as the triple super but maybe a pinch sweeter.

Tennendo Enkuu (Horizon)

Smelling the unlit stick I guess Chinese Medicine,
when lit, the same smell also,
but it rides on top of a huge wave of dry resinous agarwood.
I struggle with knowing the region of the agarwood. It’s like “where are the top fractions?”.

We can ask our friendly Oud Vendors about their oils......I often wish that I could so the same with the Japanese incense manufacturers. I inquired at Shoyeido, but this is their reply:


<<We regret to say that we are unable to reply to your inquiries
because the person in charge only know the information.
We ask for your kind understanding.>>

At least it was a polite response😀

I compared Shunkohdo Aioi no Matsu to Kyara Seikan.

Although the Aioi no Matsu is a Kyara level higher than Kyara Seikan, the Reiryo (Lysimachiae Herba) is a bit too much for me. The only stick that contains that herb, that is very well done, is Kunmeido Tokusen Kyara Tenpyo.

But boy-o-boy, the Kyara Seikan is right down my alley. I love the minimal use of aromatics, which makes the agarwood the star. It’s a tad light, a thin stick with little smoke, but always a pleasure.

I yet have to try Shunkohdo Kyara Houzan. Next time I’m at Japan Incense I’ll buy a stick.

Baieido Kohshiboku
This blend is most agreeable to my palate.

Website lists them as Siamese?

It should.....
because in the world of Japanese incense and agarwood. Siam and Sham refer to Vietnamese agarwood. I have no idea why?

But ultimately, the Kungyokudo Kayo smells similar to my old stock of Baieido Ogurayama chips.

Thanks for the explanation i am new to incense but diving in deep , and good to see some of these incenses on Kohgen as there are quite a few that I can only find on japanincense website and they do not ship outside North America 🙁.

If you want to place an order at Kohgenworld.com, or if you search Kohgen.com via Google Chrome so you can translate the page, and see something there that you like (wider selection of incense), then email Watarai at [email protected], send him a screenshot of the items you like and ask him to send an invoice to your PayPal. Remind him not to include their (Japan) Local Use Tax. You’ll save 8%, because the prices you see on those websites already reflect the added 8%, and somehow Kohgenworld does not remove it to overseas purchases automatically.
