“Local Temari Sushi Assortment” where you can enjoy 15 types of Temari sushi at domestic facilities such as eel and Nozawana

2020.08.16

On 1st September, 2020, “Tejiri Temari Sushi Assort” will be available at all the facilities of Hoshino Resort’s hot spring inn brand “Kai”.
We packed 15 types of Temari sushi that symbolize each facility in Japan in a wooden box, such as Kabayaki of eel and pickled Nozawana. When you open the drawer, you can see the colorful Temari sushi, and you can feel the excitement of opening a jewelry box. In addition, we focused on directing the scene of eating Temari sushi, such as lighting up the autumn leaves and setting up with the theme of art autumn so that you can feel the long night of autumn. By squeezing Temari sushi, you can spend a long autumn night luxuriously while traveling around Japan.

In the past, it was eaten to fill the stomach in the middle of the night, but nowadays, it is eaten in various late-night scenes with the increasing trend of enjoying night culture. If you would like to stay at an onsen ryokan, you want to spoil yourself and spend the long autumn nights luxuriously, so we have developed “Local Temari Sushi Assortment” in the world.

A box of 15 types of Temari sushi, which symbolizes each facility in the world, is contained in a box. Not only seafood, but also pork, beef, vegetables, etc.

We made a wooden box with drawers for putting Temari sushi in the original KAI. When you open the drawer, you can see the colorful Temari sushi, and it’s exciting like opening a jewelry box.
There are four drawers, the first row from the top is a piece of paper on which you can write items and recommended scenes to eat Temari sushi, and each of the second to fourth rows contains five types of Temari sushi. The drawer design is based on the image of autumn leaves on the second tier, moonlight on the third tier, and stars in the night sky on the fourth tier.

KAI Tsugaru "Tsugaru Four Seasons Water Garden"

We also focused on the production of the Temari sushi scene, such as lighting up the autumn leaves and setting up the theme of art autumn. For example, at the hot spring inn “Kai Tsugaru” in Owani Onsen, Aomori Prefecture, the autumn leaves in the water garden are illuminated. Traditional crafted Tsugaru-nuri lamps and lanterns with colored leaves floating on the water create a fantastic atmosphere.

Eighty Years After the War: A Reflection on the Preciousness of Ordinary Life YUKIKAZE – In Theaters Nationwide from August 15, 2025

“To Return Alive, To Bring Others Home Alive”

Opening nationwide on August 15, 2025—marking eighty years since the end of World War II—YUKIKAZE is a feature film based on the true story of the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) destroyer Yukikaze, a vessel that rescued countless lives amid the horrors of war. A press screening was held in advance at the Sony Pictures screening room.

The destroyer Yukikaze, which served throughout the Pacific War, was renowned for rescuing numerous sailors thrown into the sea during fierce naval battles, surviving to the end of the war virtually unscathed. It earned the legendary moniker “the lucky ship.” This film brings to life the ship’s heroic journey, alongside the lives of those who persevered through one of the most turbulent eras in modern history.

Leading the cast is Yutaka Takenouchi as Captain Kazutoshi Terasawa—a fictional amalgamation inspired by the real-life captains of Yukikaze. Hiroshi Tamaki portrays Petty Officer First Class Kohei Hayase. Supporting roles are delivered by an ensemble of acclaimed actors including Daiken Okudaira, Rena Tanaka, Kanji Ishimaru, and Toru Masuoka. Kiichi Nakai delivers a commanding performance as Vice Admiral Seiichi Itō, the Second Fleet Commander of the IJN who met his fate aboard the battleship Yamato.

In today’s world, once again shaken by division and violence, YUKIKAZE poses an urgent question to those of us living in the peace that others fought to protect: Are we once again treading the path of past mistakes? As collective memory of the war fades, this film becomes ever more vital—a call to reflect on the true value of peace.
