We're pleased to bring to the Natroma website, some of the new Japanese incense we're stocking in our Stourbridge shop.

Kobunboko is a beautiful scented incense made from fifteen different plant extracts - including sandalwood and herbs.  Kobunboko is an expression of the plum tree, so has a sweet smell reminiscent of plum blossom. 

Kobunboku is made by Baieido in Japan using a traditional formula that includes extracts of agarwood, sandalwood and cinnamon.  Baieido have been manufacturing incense for over 300 years, their methods and recipes handed down from generation to generation in an unbroken secret tradition.  

Kobunboko is refreshing and aids concentration, making a good choice to aid meditation and relaxation.

Like all Japanese incense this is a premium, very pure product.  There is no bamboo core, just a pure compacted incense stick that is made from natural ingredients.  These are smaller sticks than the usual dipped incense, but do not be worried because they are smaller.  Simply use on your usual stick holder (wood, metal or ceramic it just needs a hole in the holder).  Our shop customers are loving the way Japanese incense has a beautiful fragrance, that's long lasting and is released with minimum smoke.  

These Kobunboko incense sticks are supplied in a box.  They are short sticks (approximately 14cm long) and have a burn time of around 25-30 minutes.  Each box contains approximately 25 sticks.

Made in Japan.

Information about Japanese incense

Japanese incense is a refined, pure product that's rich in natural ingredients.  The sticks do not have bamboo cores, so they're pure incense shaped into thin solid sticks.  Japanese incense is considered by many to be the finest in the world, so due to the high quality ingredients and manufacturing process it tends to be a little more expensive than some incenses...but it's worth it!  These sticks burn clean and are much less smoky than Indian stick incenses.  Japanese incense sticks look smaller than wood/bamboo sticks but will last just as long and leave a beautiful refined aroma in the room.
