Kamakura Dashi Kobo Kinu to Wheat, a ramen store that graduated from the “Share Restaurant” rental matching platform, has set up an actual shop in Kamakura, fulfilling a dream of opening a business out of a salaried position.
A little further down the alley on Komachi-dori from Kamakura Station, you can enjoy the same popular menu from the days when the restaurant was rented. The silky smooth uncalced silk soup and noodles with a rich wheat flavor are the hallmarks of this ramen, which is sure to be as popular with customers as it was in the days when the restaurant was rented out.
【Mackerel soy sauce】
The additive-free broth, carefully prepared with dried bonito powder and saba-bushi (mackerel bones) from the long-established Wadakyu restaurant, is light yet punchy. For the kaeshi, a blend of four carefully selected premium soy sauces is used. The mellow aroma of the savory oil from which the flavor of the mackerel is slowly extracted and the fresh aroma of the yuzu citron are addictive.
【Soy Sauce with Fatty Back Fat】
The soup is made with a generous amount of whole chicken, dried sardines, kelp, shiitake mushrooms, and other ingredients, which are cooked without boiling for a long time to create a rich, additive-free soup.

December sees the arrival of a number of Christmas breads. The Snowman with his cute smiling face is a sweet loaf with two different flavours: pudding cream and chocolate cream. It is a heartwarming treat with flavours that both children and adults can enjoy.
Also back this year is the popular Japanese Stollen, which was a big hit last year. This is a special cake that can only be tasted at Kimuraya, using Japanese-inspired ingredients such as persimmons, figs and koshi-an (sweet bean paste). Please take this opportunity to try Kimuraya’s limited edition Christmas bread.

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.
