Baieido Tokusen Shukohkoku Japanese Incense
Tokusen Shukohkoku (tokusen means excellent). A base of top-quality Indian sandalwood, agarwood (Aquilaria agallocha) from Vietnam, spices and herbs such as cassia (Chinese cinnamon), star anise (badiane), patchouli, cloves and more.
It's more or less the same recipe as Shukohkoku, but with superior quality agarwood.
Excellent Shukohkoku is available in 6g or 50g tins, with standard 14cm sticks.
Shukohkoku are sometimes spelt in different ways: Syukohkoku, Shyukohkoku, Shukohkokou, and so on. This is due to the sometimes haphazard translation from the Japanese language, which is so different from our own.
The producer himself uses several spellings on his own publications...
