This summer, as soon as the rainy season ends, there are signs of a heat wave in the air. Anchor Hotel Fukuyama is offering an August only breakfast menu [Kamogawa hand-pulled somen noodles with three kinds of homemade sauce and Fukuyama-grown vegetables].
The somen noodles used are Kamogawa hand-pulled somen noodles, a speciality of Kamogata-cho, Asakuchi, Okayama Prefecture, and well known to the people of Fukuyama. The firmness and smoothness characteristic of hand-pulled noodles make them ideal for breakfast in summer, when people’s appetites tend to wane.
Three types of homemade noodle soup (Japanese-style soup with dashi broth, ratatouille soup with locally grown vegetables, and soy milk tantan tsuyu with homemade raayu) are also included, along with condiments to enjoy the variety of flavours.
Dessert is a two-layer panna cotta with homemade plum jam. The fresh plum flavour and gentle sweetness will fill your mouth.

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.
