Kuromoji Hydrosol

Kuromoji aromatic distilled water is made from the wild Kuromoji trees that grow in the foothills of Mt. Fuji. This is the aromatic distilled water obtained when extracting Kuromoji essential oil at noi. Although it is a by-product of essential oil, it is a special drop that contains all of the power of Kuromoji.

This aromatic distilled water is made from winter Kuromoji harvested in mid-March and distilled on the same day. It is freshly harvested aromatic distilled water. It is slowly aged to remove the unique aroma immediately after distillation, resulting in a mellow fragrance that brings out the sweetness of Kuromoji.

Please note that we only have a limited number of freshly made aromatic distilled waters, so they will be sold out once they are gone.

What is aromatic distilled water?

Aromatic distilled water (hydrosol) is a solution containing aromatic components obtained when extracting plant essential oils using steam distillation. Unlike essential oils, it is rich in water-soluble aromatic molecules and trace components, and while it has the mild pharmacological effects of plants, it is less irritating to the skin and can be used as is without dilution. (*Please note that since this is all done by hand, it may contain trace amounts of essential oils.)

Aromatic distilled water has different ingredients depending on the plant. For example, Kuromoji contains trace amounts of relaxing ingredients such as linalool and 1,8-cineole, which are expected to have antibacterial, sedative, and refreshing effects. You can incorporate the power of nature into a wide range of applications, such as air freshening and aroma craft.

Made with wild Kuromoji that grows naturally at the foot of Mt. Fuji

We harvest the Kuromoji trees that grow wild in the forests at the foot of Mt. Fuji, at an altitude of 900-1200m, by pruning only the branches and leaves. Kuromoji trees grow robustly in the rich forest soil where sunlight reaches the undergrowth and in the harsh cold of winter, giving off a high-quality, powerful and aromatic fragrance.

Enjoy the aromatic distilled water harvested at this time of year that can only be experienced now.

Steam distilled using underground water from Mt. Fuji

At noi, we use steam distillation using underground water from Mt. Fuji that has been filtered over many years. The blessings of Mt. Fuji's underground water and the wild Kuromoji trees that grow there are bottled as is.
