Tsubota Pearl Bolbo Petrol Lighter - Gold Striped

We personally use Ronsonol, but Zippo brand is also great.

Established in 1952 as a metal and leather working company, Tsubota Pearl makes all their components in specialized workshops in and around the Asakusa area of Tokyo.  Their distinguished, minimalistic, and unique lighters have become a staple of Japanese craftsmanship.
