For a limited time, we will open “Hoshinoya Tokyo Bar” where you can experience the izakaya culture that continues from Edo while feeling the pleasant night breeze at dusk outdoors with summer-like settings such as lanterns, wind chimes, and mosquito repellent incense.
In the town of Edo, “Izak”, where you drink alcohol at a liquor store, was popular.
Hoshinoya Tokyo Bar will open for a limited time behind the 1st floor of Hoshinoya Tokyo. At dusk, when the sun begins to set, a corner of the building is transformed into a tavern decorated with goodwill and lanterns reminiscent of the lively atmosphere of the summer festival.
All the sake offered at Hoshinoya Tokyo Bar is local sake from Tokyo brewed at a sake brewery in Tokyo. Toshimaya Shuzou’s “Kinjo Junmai Ginjo Edo Sake Prince” and Tokyo Port Brewery’s “Junmai Ginjo Hara Sake Edo Kaijo All Tokyo” made using all the raw materials water, rice, and yeast from Tokyo, etc. We will prepare brands of sake related to Edo and Tokyo.
It has a light taste with a distinctive acidity reminiscent of white wine, and is recommended for those who are not familiar with sake. We also prepare amazake and ramune for those who cannot drink alcohol and for children.
Along with sake, we offer long-established gems from Kanda, Nihonbashi, and Ningyocho, which have a long history from the Edo period to the present day and still retain the Edo atmosphere.

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.
