Great colour and quality craftsmanship- very pleased. Disappointed it didn’t come with the wooden spoon in the picture, so should be made clear it is not included.
I first saw one of these brushes in Sweden and for some reason I came home without purchasing it. If you have marble or wood tops little bits stay on the surface and then when you wipe over with the cloth they stick to the cloth and end up on the floor. A quick sweep takes all the crumbs off the tops and straight in the bin. Great idea well made.
I bought a copy on my first visit to this wonderful shop and promised a friend I would let her read it when I finished but I’m enjoying it so much and it’s the kind of book I’ll dip into each week I ended up buying her a copy too! Mail order was hassle free, reasonable delivery charge and arrived promptly. Can certainly recommend.
Very nice little 30 min burning time sticks by a Nippon Kodo brand (if I remember correctly) they smell really nice, the smell before the burn is a little different though (a little more aloeswoood-y) but I think that's normal for Japanese brands of scents compared to my more accustomed nose to the Indian variants, since Japanese incense are made more with the powder bases, but I do think this one has a synthetic aloeswood (from what I have read on reddit), but high quality synthetic aloeswood oil, so nothing like cheap perfumed incense, just so you know, you wont be getting 100% real aloeswood for this price, its far too endangered and a precious material, but for what it is, it is very delightful, reminds me of a Japanese version of all the Indian Oudhs (another word for aloeswood), nice and relaxing and smells great. Sweet, woody, resinous and definitely spicy. Will be buying again in the future. Very nice sticks.
