Shirayuki Sandalwood Incense

Revived by Request

Byakudan Shirayuki is an incense that was revived in response to many customer requests. It was once removed from the lineup due to the rising cost of sandalwood; however, even after its discontinuation, numerous voices called for its return, leading to its re-release.

Sandalwood Expression

The fragrance is defined by its sandalwood profile. With no herbal notes included, the blend is made from charcoal and sandalwood oil alone, resulting in a clean and unadorned aroma that recalls the experience of gently warming sandalwood directly over charcoal.

Comparison and Craftsmanship

Compared with Koun, another low-smoke incense from Kunjudo, Shirayuki contains a higher proportion of sandalwood, giving it a clearer and more pronounced sandalwood presence. It is crafted in a square-cut stick form, a shape chosen since its original production. This form allows the fragrance to rise cleanly, though it requires more careful craftsmanship and is now rarely used.

For Sandalwood Appreciation

Byakudan Shirayuki reflects Kunjudo’s wish to present sandalwood in its purest and most refreshing expression. It is an ideal choice for those who wish to experience sandalwood fully, while those who prefer a softer impression may also appreciate Koun.
