Description
Japanese incense has been used to purify, cleanse, and unwind for other a thousand years. During this time it has come to be seen as one of the highest quality incense varieties in the world.
In 1594, Riemon Ouno opened Kungyokudo directly across from the Hongwanji Temple in Kyoto to provide incense and medicine to the monks of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji-ha Buddhist school. The incense house is currently led by his 22nd-generation descendant, Kazuo Ouno, and his wife, Chihaya Ouno.
Kungyokudo is the oldest incense producer in Japan.

I bought the Regular size of Kungyokudo Sakae 1966 incense and it’s been a lovely addition to my evening routine. The scent is sweet and nostalgic, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Each stick burns evenly and lasts about 15 minutes as advertised. The box feels sturdy and the incense sticks are well-packaged. While it’s a bit pricey, the quality justifies the cost. I didn’t check the denver broncos schedule while using it, but I imagine it would make any game day more relaxing!
