In addition to the excellent compatibility of kinako and black honey, I also put Ichian’s popular summer product “Azuki Warabi Mochi” on a skewer and boldly placed it.

The red bean sauce modified for shaved ice was put on a syrup, and syrup using the fragrant matcha from Shizuoka prefecture was sprinkled on it. I’m irresistible to love Anko!

Commitment to material

We use only large varieties of red beans, which were selected for the making of Kintsuba, from a contract farm in Tokachi, Hokkaido. Cook carefully until the skin swells without crushing. The red bean grains are shiny and shiny, giving it the original taste of red beans.

Iide Town, Yamagata Prefecture] “Submerged Forest of Lake Shirakawa,” a Mysterious Spring-Only Scene 

The mysterious scenery of Lake Shirakawa in the town of Iide in southern Yamagata Prefecture can be seen only during two months in spring. In spring, a large amount of melt water flows into Lake Shirakawa from the Iide mountain range, one of Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, where there is heavy snowfall. When the lake is full of water, it creates a fantastic sight of white willow trees as if they are growing out of the water.

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.
