“Japanese Cafe Tsumugi” has a cozy space that incorporates Japanese motifs and colors (indigo), and has a Japanese-style drink, rice, and sweets that resonate with the hearts of highly sensitive women. A new style Japanese cafe. From February 15th, “Shinshu Peach and Jiuqu Milk” and “Peach and Cherry Matcha Parfait” will be on sale.
Natural water shaving ice “Shinshu peach and koji milk” is made from natural water shaving ice, peach syrup from Shinshu, Nagano prefecture, sauce with plenty of white peach fruit, sardine milk, and whipped shavings with a gentle sweetness. I made a topping. If you like, put “Oiri”, a traditional confectionery from Kagawa prefecture, and enjoy the crispy and fluffy texture of “Spring Kuchidoke”.
“Peach and cherry matcha parfait” is a Japanese parfait that combines Yamagata cherry sorbet and jelly, a sauce with plenty of white peach fruits and several types of matcha sweets. The toppings were three-color dumplings, iwa-okoshi, and Tsumugi original fuyaki. You can enjoy the combination of the refreshing acidity of peaches and cherries and the fragrant matcha sweets. Please enjoy the special parfait for a limited time, which is packed with the deliciousness of the season.

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.
