Incense Kitchen is a brand that manufactures, sells, and offers hands-on experience making matcha incense in Kyoto.
The concept of "Ito-Okashi" is an ancient Japanese word meaning "something beautiful" or "something tasteful.
It was created with the intention of making people in Japan and around the world aware of the appeal of Kyoto and matcha, and to revitalize Kyoto's tourism industry.
Incense richly infused with Uji matcha tea, when heated in an incense burner, softly releases the aroma of tea and refreshes the mind.
We also paid close attention to the beauty of the appearance, using wooden molds to mold the shapes of Japanese lucky charms and tea utensils, one by one, to express the traditional culture of Kyoto.
In addition, the raw material, matcha, is upcycled by purchasing waste tea from tea factories and farmers that cannot be made into products, and is attracting attention as a food-loss matcha.
