The Six Countries and Five Tastes of Japanese Kōdō

In the Muromachi period (1336 - 1573 AD), Shino Soshin (志野宗信) formally described the different scents of agarwood as Rikkoku Gomi (六国五味, Six Countries and Five Tastes), due to different geographic regions producing distinct types of agarwood. That is, Kyara (伽羅, Vietnam); Rakoku (羅国, Thailand); Sumotara (寸聞多羅, Indonesia); Manaba (真南蛮, Cambodia); Manaka (真那賀, Malaysia) and Sasora (佐曾羅, Eastern India).
