From Saturday 1 June to Saturday 31 August 2024, Dessert Café Chorakukan will offer a Showa-era retro-themed menu of classic drinks from the café with a new, appealing flavour.
A thick textured mixed juice with a mango base, decorated with yellow peaches, pineapple, muscat and grosseilles.
The ice cream in Chorakukan coffee floats is not the standard vanilla ice cream, but black bean kinako ice cream. The nostalgic sweetness and savouriness of kinako enhances the flavour of the original iced coffee blend.
Cream soda with a seductive detail is a drink born in Japan. Light green soda water with a burst of carbonation and added melon juice is lavishly finished with milky vanilla ice cream, smooth cream and fresh local melon pulp.
A white peach sherbet with aloe and lychee. It has a delightfully crisp texture and a refreshing, fruity taste with the sweetness of peaches.
Homemade syrup made from local lemon juice is mixed with soda water and gently garnished with bubbles of carbonated syrup created by espuma. The melting bubbles and light scent of cinnamon evoke the summers of the Showa era.

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.
