5. Why is the unit price so low for Morning Star compared to other Nippon Kodo incense?

Answer: Nippon Kodo has been selling Morning Star incense in the USA for more than 40 years, and it is still the best-selling item in terms of volume. That is why it has such a low price.

Even though the Morning Star line is an entry-level incense for daily use, its fragrance is distinctly better than that of similar incense sold by other companies.

Nippon Kodo incense is particularly notable for lacking an inner core (such as a bamboo stick in the center). As a result, it provides less smoke and more fragrance.
