Byakudan, also known as sandalwood, is the finest grade of sandalwood the Japanese call "Old Mountain." Byakudan is true Mysore sandalwood, a very rare and wonderfully fragrant, legally harvested heartwood of the sandal tree native to Mysore, India. Regulated by the Indian government, this grade of sandalwood is quickly becoming difficult to find and only select companies like Baieido, who have been trading with India for over 300 years, can obtain it. Mysore heartwood has been used for thousands of years in initiation ceremonies as well as for meditation, perfumery, medicinal use and of course, just simply relaxing and enjoying one of nature's treasures.

This is the most heavenly sandalwood we have experienced. Great for burning on charcoal, mica, makko, or for use in making your own incense mixtures. Approximately 25 grams.
