Japanese incense craftsmanship from Kyoto

Shoyeido was founded in Kyoto in 1705 and is one of Japan's long-established incense manufacturers. The company is particularly known for its carefully balanced fragrance compositions made from aromatic woods, resins, spices and other botanical fragrance ingredients.

The Daily Incense collection combines this extensive experience with incense sticks designed for regular use. Each variety has its own distinctive fragrance character, making it easy to compare the different blends.

A discovery set for enthusiasts of Japanese incense sticks

The Daily Incense Assortment is particularly suitable for those who are discovering Shoyeido for the first time or wish to try several classic fragrance compositions without purchasing a full pack of each variety.

The eight incense sticks can be used individually. This allows each fragrance to be explored at leisure and compared with the other compositions. The assortment also makes a thoughtful small gift for enthusiasts of Japanese incense culture.

Contents and use

The pack contains 8 long Japanese incense sticks without a bamboo core, one of each fragrance variety. The sticks are approximately 22 cm long and have an average burning time of around 50 minutes.

To use, briefly light the tip of a stick, gently blow out the flame and place the glowing stick in a suitable, heat-resistant incense holder. Ensure adequate ventilation while burning incense and never leave burning sticks unattended.
