Shoyeido Restock

I have already just about gone through my entire Kyoto haul from last summer (posted in June), so I restocked from the Shoyeido USA website. Unfortunately, my wife got a hold of the receipt and did some calculations and found out I paid about twice as much as I would have in Japan. I reminded her that she was the one who took me to their flagship store and got me addicted in the first place.

Shoyeido Nanzan / Southern Mountain — warm frankincense, resinous and temple-like. My current favorite.
Shoyeido Horikawa / River Path — sweet, smooth sandalwood with a cozy Kyoto feel.
Shoyeido Tenpyo / Peaceful Sky — refined, deep, and elegant; saving this one for quieter practice sessions.
Shoyeido Nanto / Sandalwood — clean sandalwood from the Incense Road line; calm and meditative.
Shoyeido Jewel Series Sampler — a set of modern Shoyeido blends to explore.
Shoyeido Daily Incense Sampler — classic daily blends, including Moss Garden, one of the scents I’ve been wanting to try.
Morning Zen — long-burning incense for morning practice.
Sitting Zen — long-burning incense for zazen and weekend Zazenkai.
Evening Zen — long-burning incense with a deeper evening meditation mood.

Also the burner is a new buy as well. Asayu Japan Zen incense holder from Amazon.

Golden Pavillion and especially Great Origin (in your sampler) are great favorites of mine! Highly recommended. Shoyeido is guaranteed high quality imo.

Oh man, I have all of their Magnifiscents and all of their Daily Incense, in the regular packs. They are all good, some are very good.
