Incense of the Day

[Sproaty]

Baieido Kobunboku

I bought this on a whim since it's cheap and I wanted to make my daily burns less expensive. Turns out, I like this even better than some of my high-end Japanese incenses. This is probably because I crave the sour, spicy, and salty tastes in incense profiles and many of my recent purchases did not really deliver on this front. Baieido's original Kobunboku legitimately smells like a smoky salted fermented plum paste, i.e. umeboshi. Kobunboku is so well balanced and tantalising; it really made me think more of Baieido as a competent incense house.

This sounds great. I have Kobunboku Kaden which adds in Viet agarwood. Interstingly, Kobunboku is plum blossom, which will be the next "form" that I learn in Kung Fu

Fumigating my Livingroom with one of my cones, Predominantly Viet char, with Mysore and Frankincense. 45min. burn on these larger ones.

Oud the shiraz incense, classic agarwood smell. Sweet with animalitic note

Shoyeido shun-yo ( beckoning spring)
I’m really loving these Japanese sticks and becoming more fond of the experience with each burn.
Great value and awesome experience

Yamadamatsu Suifu Gokuhin

This is another daily burn-tier incense from Yamadamatsu. Having said that, these sticks are so complex and easy to listen to at the same time. There is a very sweet-spicy aloeswood alongside some borneol and Chinese spices that makes the overall smell somewhat grassy-sweet.

Green Kyara stick from Yuzhi, slightly sweet, refreshing.

Shoyeido Ga-ho
I’m really becoming fond of these Shoyeido sticks. I wasn’t a fan of incense when exploring single ingredient sticks . It’s just not satisfying like heating pure AGARWOOD!!
I tried a few vendors and was not impressed or satisfied so gave up spending money on sticks but these Shoyeido premium ones have me hooked!!!
Relaxing and comforting with no effort or demanding temp control process.
Value seems extremely high and the story line is straight forward without glorifying
And I don’t have to be online at a certain time or get frustrated trying to make an order before it’s all gone !!!

I remember this incense from KZ, just a fraction of burn is enough to fill the entire room.

Shoyeido translucent path today
I love this stick while it’s not like burning pure kyara it is a blast of it for sure.
General question:
The top tier Shoyeido are sold out everywhere I look . Is that normal and if so how often is the stock replenished?

Shokaku, Myoho, and Goun are discontinued.

That’s terrible! How about sho koku?
Surly they have a kyara stick still available?

You mean Sho-kaku.
Sho-kaku, Myo-ho, and Go-un all had kyara listed as an ingredient.
They’re newest top premium is Myo-kaku, but does not list kyara as an ingredient.
So it’s safe to assume that Shoyeido does not offer sticks with kyara anymore.
