There's a substantial difference in philosophy and formulation between Japanese incense and anyone else's incense. I'm a long way from a connoisseur but the only counterfeit incense I've ever encountered is pretending to be Japanese. Japanese incense also has the advantage of being breakable; you can burn a half stick or a quarter stick. Either way, their oils and perfumes linger a lot less than the Indian stuff (which lingers a lot less than American stuff).

See if you can find Shoyeido. I'm partial to moss garden.

I dare you to buy myokaku.
