Matcha Rice Wax Candle
MON AROME CHERI candle
Wax derived from rice bran gives a by-product of rice milling a new role in the home.
A compact vessel with a familiar Japanese silhouette, made to enjoy between moments of candlelight.
Each candle arrives in a presentation box decorated with a traditional Japanese kimono pattern.
Deep green tea notes and a fresh, leafy character define the Matcha Rice Wax Candle. Made in Japan by MON AROME CHERI candle, it recalls the aroma of freshly prepared matcha, carrying a familiar pleasure beyond the teacup.
The fragrance gives an evening of reading or a quiet conversation a green, refreshing backdrop. For someone who loves Japanese tea, it offers another way to enjoy its associations through scent, warm light and an object made for the home.
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.
