What is JapanAroma
JapanAroma is an initiative operated by Jyuhachinichi, dedicated to introducing, proposing, and supplying Japanese botanical aromatic materials to international professionals.
It serves as a point of contact for communicating the materials, producers, and distillation practices that Jyuhachinichi engages with on a daily basis, beyond differences in language and cultural context.
Rather than presenting materials as isolated products, JapanAroma aims to share the environmental background and practical context in which each material is produced, supporting meaningful dialogue with professionals overseas.
Why Japanese Botanicals
Japanese botanical materials reflect a wide range of characteristics shaped by climate, geography, and forest management practices.
While respecting these regional backgrounds, JapanAroma places strong emphasis on maintaining a consistent level of quality suitable for professional use.
Rather than treating natural origin as an excuse for ambiguity, we prioritize understanding material characteristics through component analysis and verification, and handle each material based on that understanding.
How We Work
JapanAroma works primarily with small-scale production, carefully managing each step from raw material sourcing and distillation to analysis and documentation.
Recognizing that supply conditions vary significantly by material, we distinguish between those that can be supplied in stable quantities and those available only in limited amounts.
By sharing supply expectations and conditions in advance, we provide proposals aligned with intended use and planning, and place importance on building long-term relationships without placing unreasonable demands on either side.
JapanAroma and Jyuhachinichi
JapanAroma functions as the international-facing platform of Jyuhachinichi, drawing on its accumulated experience in production, analysis, and trade.
In addition to providing material information, we support practical communication related to proposals, sample requests, and transaction inquiries, based on an understanding of each material’s characteristics and supply conditions.
JapanAroma is positioned as a space for facilitating informed dialogue and practical exchange, ensuring that Japanese botanical aromatic materials are delivered overseas under appropriate understanding and realistic conditions.
