Yuzu 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.
The fresh citrus character of yuzu gives this Japanese rice-wax candle an inviting brightness. Made by MON AROME CHERI candle, it brings a gentle fragrance and warm light to the small transition between a busy day and an evening at home.
The scent takes its cue from Japanese yuzu: fresh and softly refreshing, with the restful association of a warm bath. Choose it for a citrus direction within the O-kome collection, or as a gift for someone who enjoys fresh fragrances.
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.
