Sawayaka Kobunboku

At a Glance: Fresh - Sandalwood - Herbs - Cinnamon - Clove

History / Lineage: Sawayaka Kobunboku is Baieidō’s lighter, brighter variation of the classic plum-tree blend, created for those who enjoy the traditional character of Kobunboku but prefer a fresher, more uplifting style.

Main Notes / Character: It opens fresh and clean, with sandalwood as a base. The herbs feel part of the structure rather than an extra layer. As it develops, cinnamon and clove come through more clearly, adding spice without taking over.

It settles into balance. Fresh, steady woods with a touch of spice. Easy to live with, easy to return to.

Meaning behind the Name: “Sawayaka” (爽やか) means “fresh” or “crisp,” reflecting this revitalised, refreshing interpretation of the Kobunboku tradition.
