Fruit Daifuku specialty store “Kajitsunohana”. From February 15th, we will open a limited-time store in “Kintetsu Department Store Uehonmachi”. In addition, we will sell the new work “Ichigo Daifuku with raw chocolate” this season to coincide with Valentine’s Day.
We select fresh fruits every day from fruit and vegetable stores that have a selection of fruits from fruit farmers all over the country. Every morning, a Japanese confectionery craftsman carefully wraps the best fruit, which has been carefully considered for the sweetness of the fruit and its compatibility with Daifuku.
We received a method of making mochi from the long-established Japanese sweets shop “Daitokuya Nagahisa”, which boasts a history of 300 years in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. Fruit Daifuku, which is more difficult to control water than ordinary Japanese sweets, is made up of a unique ratio. It is the result of outstanding Japanese sweets technology that made these possible.
A Japanese-Western eclectic winter-only fruit Daifuku that is made by wrapping carefully selected fresh strawberries in Daifuku, a “raw chocolate bean paste” specially developed for this product.
The moment you put it in your mouth, the mochi’s chewy texture and sweetness are modestly raw chocolate. And the crushed feeling of strawberries and the sweet and sour taste are excellent.
We also offer a special Valentine’s Day package so that you can use it as a Valentine’s gift.

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.
