Nippon Kodo Launches 'Mainichikoh KIYORA' Incense with Odor-Removing Ingredients

Introducing 'Mainichikoh KIYORA': A New Era of Incense

Nippon Kodo, a distinguished name in the incense industry, announces the upcoming launch of its latest product, 'Mainichikoh KIYORA.' Set to debut on September 4, 2026, this new line of incense combines traditional scents with modern innovations designed for contemporary living. The 'KIYORA' variant includes special odor-removing ingredients, ensuring that your living spaces also feel refreshed and clean.

A Fresh Take on Incense

The 'Mainichikoh KIYORA' incense sticks come infused with the scent of Clear Sandalwood, a fragrance known for its freshness and cleanliness. The concept behind this product is captured beautifully in the tagline, "ともすたび、空気きよらか。" (Every time you light it, the air becomes clear). This product aims to seamlessly integrate into your daily life, providing both a sensory experience and an effective means of deodorization.

Ideal for various scenarios, this incense is perfect for moments of remembrance and reflection, as well as helping to refresh the atmosphere after cleaning or whenever you need a quick revitalization of your space. Whether it's the living room, kitchen, or bathroom, 'Mainichikoh KIYORA' offers a sensory approach to eliminating unpleasant odors like body odor, shoe odor, and mustiness.

The Science of Deodorization

Using an innovative KIYORA fragrance ingredient, this incense works to reduce unpleasant odors to less than one-tenth of their original intensity. Clinical testing, conducted by third-party organizations, has shown that spaces where 'KIYORA' incense is used experience a significant reduction in unpleasant odors over time, as per the standards set by the Odor Prevention Law.

A Refinement of Tradition

The launch of 'Mainichikoh KIYORA' coincides with the 117th anniversary of the 'Mainichikoh' brand, which has captivated users with its signature Sandalwood scent since its introduction in the Meiji era. In 2025, the brand plans to refresh its image with a new fragrance and package while including a 'low-smoke' option, thus appealing even more to modern lifestyles.
