    Shiso Rice Wax Candle

    MON AROME CHERI candle

    From rice to a gentler light.

    MON AROME CHERI candle is a candle maker based in Miyazaki, Japan. Its O-kome collection begins with rice bran, a by-product of rice milling, from which the candle wax is derived. The choice gives a familiar agricultural material a lasting role beyond the kitchen.

    For the Shiso edition, rice wax is paired with shiso essential oil. The combination connects the material and fragrance through ingredients familiar to Japanese daily life.

    The design continues that story in a vessel inspired by bamboo and a presentation box patterned after Japanese kimono textiles. Material, fragrance and presentation work together, making the candle as pleasing to give as it is to keep. The O-kome Candle collection received a Gold Award in the 2025 Omotenashi Selection.

    The fresh herbal character of shiso

    A closer look

    Fresh, herbal shiso gives this rice-wax candle its distinctive character. Made in Japan by MON AROME CHERI candle, it pairs shiso essential oil with a wax derived from rice bran, bringing two familiar Japanese ingredients into an unexpected setting.

    Shiso is an aromatic leaf used in Japanese cooking. Here, its clear herbal scent offers a different direction from floral or citrus fragrance: a candle for those drawn to the green side of the collection.

    The vessel’s bamboo-inspired form brings a restrained decorative detail to a side table or shelf between uses. A presentation box decorated with a traditional Japanese kimono pattern makes it a thoughtful gift, with the pleasure of the object beginning before it is lit.

    The wax is derived from rice bran, a by-product of rice milling. This use of an everyday Japanese material is at the heart of the O-kome Candle collection, which received a Gold Award in the 2025 Omotenashi Selection.
