Aokiya Co., Ltd. launched a matcha daifuku and dorayaki, Matcha Daifuku dora (1 piece 280 yen [tax included]) on July 17, 2020, making use of the traditional techniques cultivated since 1868.
“Choco Daifuku Dora” was released in the fall of last year and was well received. The long-awaited matcha flavor has been added to the Daifuku Dora series so that you can enjoy it even in summer. “Melting black honey looks like dorayaki! “Matcha Daifuku Dora” was created from that thought.
If you just sandwich the black honey, it will stick out from the dough skin. But just plain matcha bean paste is not fun! So why not wrap the matcha bean paste filled with black honey in Daifuku? Was born from the idea. Is this candy Daifuku? Dorayaki? Is it a completely different sweet? I made it with the hope that you can eat it while thinking about such things.
Since it is individually packaged and can be stored at room temperature, it can be used in any occasion.
The foundation of Aokiya in 1868 was the business of all heads. Using the technique of “encrusted bean jam” that wraps the bean jam in the dough, which is indispensable for making many heads, the black honey that begins to melt is wrapped in matcha bean jam and fertilizer. The skill of making 100 thousand heads that lasts for more than 100 years and the experience of making dorayaki gently, making it every day. Beyond traditional Japanese sweets, we have transformed them into creative Japanese sweets.

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.
