At SHIBUYA STREAM HOTEL, in the Bar & Dining ‘TORRENT’ (4F), from 4 (Wed) to 30 (Mon) September 2024, as ‘TORRENT BAR – Full of Stars’, we will offer a collaboration bar with a starry sky and space-themed production. The collaborative bar will be presented in a starry sky and outer space theme.
In order to transmit culture rooted in Shibuya, a bar where people can enjoy drinks while looking up at the stars and the universe like in a planetarium was conceived as a project to deepen and enjoy the long autumn nights, with the cooperation of Cosmo Planetarium Shibuya.
The dishes include a gazpacho that can be enjoyed by the eye with a light effect like the twinkling stars in the sky, a sea bream carpaccio with a colourful beetroot sauce representing the rings of Saturn, and even a Planet Ice sweet representing the green earth with chocolate mint ice cream, a mysterious dish that can only be found at this time of year. The food is also available in the form of Planet Ice Cream, representing the blue Earth in chocolate mint ice cream.
The cocktails include the Cosmo Milky Way, a short rum-based cocktail inspired by the Milky Way in the night sky, and the Starry Sky, a glass filled with a starry sky that seems to be falling out of the glass, taking you on a starry journey with its ever-changing gradation and the sparkle of the jewel jelly at the bottom. The gradation, which changes with each sip, and the sparkle of the jewel jelly, which sinks to the bottom, take you on a starry journey. Mocktails include the ‘Silent Planets’, which expresses the blue of space at the end of the universe, as yet unseen.

The Hiroshima Museum of Art is hosting the exhibition “ZIPANGU: Contemporary Artists Who Defined the Heisei Era” (November 2, 2024 – December 22, 2024). This showcase brings together works by some of the most prominent figures in Japan’s contemporary art scene, including Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Makoto Aida, Yoshitomo Nara, Chiharu Shiota, Izumi Kato, Akira Yamaguchi, and Miwa Komatsu. The exhibition has already garnered significant attention, exceeding 10,000 visitors.
HYAKKEI covered the dialogue between contemporary artist Takashi Murakami and Sueo Mizuma, the curator of this exhibition, held at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Hiroshima. We also conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Mizuma.
The discussions centered on the aspirations behind the ZIPANGU exhibition and offered forward-looking insights, not only into Japan’s art world but also into the rediscovery of value within Japanese culture by its people.
