Hey Mike
Can you recommend a Japanese incense thats pretty good quality, for the hot hot months of summer?

That’s a good question as I would generally think Japanese incenses work better when it’s cooler. I’ll think about it a bit and come back if I come up with something. Kunmeido Asuka came to mind but I think that’s just because I like it.

What would be your top favourite from this list?
What would be your top value for money from this list?
What would be the one that combines best scent with best value for money best? (So kind of stands between those answering my two earlier questions)

Hi Jan. Don’t have a top favourite in anything and the other questions would take math I don’t really have time for. I explored doing a cost matrix for incenses at one point, but it’s far too time consuming, especially in an era when recipes are in flux.
