◆Commitment to aroma We use steam distillation, which keeps the temperature stable. This allows for slow extraction without destroying the quality of the ingredients, resulting in a more fragrant and higher quality finish.
For distillation, we use underground water that is created over time and comes from the rich forests at the foot of Mt. Hakusan. We deliver an extremely pure fragrance that is a concentrated expression of the blessings of nature.
