Jinko is broadly classified into six categories — Kyara, Rakoku, Manaban, Manaka, Sumatora, and Sasora — collectively called \"Rikoku\" (the Six Woods), each with its own unique fragrance. These fragrances are described through \"Gomi\" (five tastes: sweet, sour, spicy, salty, and bitter), and the finest fragrances are those in which all five are harmoniously balanced. While the full depth of these scents is best appreciated in the art of koh-doh (incense ceremony), Shuju incense sticks are crafted using the finest aromatic woods to recreate those fragrances as closely as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShuju Kyara is made with a generous use of the finest aromatic wood, kyara, carefully blended to reproduce its natural fragrance as closely as possible in stick form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e*Due to fluctuations in raw material availability, kyara-based incense may not always be in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yamadamatsu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53531893170490,"sku":"XJ-AKSN-J0YZ","price":3343.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7066\/9882\/files\/53_17050539-a644-40bb-8f8d-44ad95580f88.jpg?v=1779971326","url":"https:\/\/wa-no-kaori-incense.com\/products\/ymd-shuju-kyara-sampler","provider":"Wa no Kaori Incense","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
