Takimono Pressed Incense Tablets
These 12 pressed incense tablets (薫物- takimono) can be gently heated over charcoal or on an electric incense heater to release their classic aroma without the smoke from burning incense sticks. A blend of herbs and spices, this pressed incense has a similar aromatic profile to nerikō (練香 - kneaded incense) At low heat, they can be appreciated personally, while at higher temperatures, they will release some smoke, but will perfume a large space.
Each sachet contains 1 block of takimono which can be broken into 12 tablets.

Founded in 1772, Yamadamatsu Kōboku-ten (山田松香木店) is one of Japan's most respected incense houses. As their name suggests, they have long specialised in kōboku - the aromatic woods of sandalwood, aloeswood, and kyara which form the heart of Japanese incense culture. Their original recipes lean heavily on the exquisite quality of their raw ingredients and the ingenuity and creativity with which they combine them to form unforgettable aromas.
