Japanese Incense OEM & Private Label Manufacturing
Kohgen provides Japanese incense OEM and private label manufacturing services for clients around the world.
Products can be manufactured using existing fragrance palettes, in-house fragrance materials, or customer-supplied fragrance ingredients. All products are made in Japan using traditional incense-making techniques, with flexible production options available for a wide range of projects.
Whether you are launching a private label incense brand, creating a commemorative gift, developing museum merchandise, or producing a scent inspired by your local culture, our team can help bring your ideas to life.
OEM Options
Whether you are looking for Japanese incense OEM production, private label incense manufacturing, or a fully custom fragrance project, Kohgen can support both small-scale and large-scale production in Japan.
We offer two OEM production options depending on your project requirements, desired level of customization, and production volume.
Option 1: OEM Production Using Existing Fragrance Palettes
This option is ideal for customers who would like to launch an incense product quickly and efficiently without developing a new fragrance from scratch.
You may first purchase one of our OEM sample palettes and evaluate the fragrances included. Each palette contains multiple fragrance options. If you find a fragrance you would like to use, production can proceed directly using that fragrance.
- MOQ: Approximately 1 kg to 2 kg depending on the fragrance
- Production lead time: Approximately 2 weeks
- The finished product will be identical to the selected sample
- Fragrance, length, thickness, and color cannot be customized

Option 2: Fully Custom OEM Production
This option is recommended for customers seeking a completely original incense product.
If you already have fragrance oils you would like to use, we may be able to manufacture incense using those materials. We can also develop a custom formulation using fragrance materials available through our production network.
- MOQ: 3 kg per fragrance
- Customer-supplied fragrance materials may be accepted
- Length, thickness, and color customization available within production specifications
- Paid prototypes available prior to production
- Production lead time: Approximately 3 months after final approval and payment
Our standard incense stick size is approximately 13.5 cm (5.3 in) in length and 2 mm (0.08 in) in diameter.
At this size, 1 kg typically yields approximately 2,500 sticks, although the actual quantity may vary depending on the formulation.
Paid prototypes can be produced before full-scale manufacturing. Prototype production typically requires approximately 1 month.
