How to Enjoy Inkoh (Soradaki / Indirect Heating)

Inkoh is warmed rather than burned directly. Prepare a small piece of charcoal and ignite it to warm the ash in an incense burner.

When embedding the charcoal in the ash

Allow the ash to warm, then place the Inkoh on the ash surface so the fragrance rises gently without smoke or flame.

When placing the charcoal on top of the ash

Warm the ash surface, then set the Inkoh on the ash near—but not touching—the charcoal. Leave a slight gap so heat is transmitted without direct contact.

This indirect style allows the shaped incense to release its subtle aroma slowly and cleanly.
