About the Amami Oshima Exclusive Brand "Amami Blue Soy Candle"
The natural beauty of Amami Oshima nurtured the black sugar shochu "Lento," and behind the delicate flavor lies the abundant water source of Uken Village. "Amami Blue Soy Candle" repurposes used "Lento" bottles to provide sustainable aromatic candles to all of you.

Thoughts of the Creator
In July 2021, our beloved Amami Oshima was recognized as a World Natural Heritage site. As someone who grew up in Uken Village, I felt a deep desire to create a special product that would not only delight the locals but also the guests who come from afar.
Through the scents and illumination that evoke the island's nature, I want to convey the charm of Amami. And in the future, I hope to enrich the culture of Amami Oshima by creating a nostalgic, adult space that combines candles and music, where people can enjoy the island's culture to the fullest.
