“Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Atami” will hold a night strawberry picking program “Night Strawberry Tour” on even days from January 6th to March 30th, 2022, limited to one group per day.
In order to let you know more about the deliciousness of strawberries, we will prepare a pairing with wine to enjoy the sweetness of strawberries. First, taste the rosé sparkling that brings out the sweet and sour taste of strawberries.
Two items are pairing with red wine. If you apply the flesh of the strawberry to the edge of the glass and combine it with the red wine that emphasizes the fruitiness, the sweetness of the strawberry will be elegantly enhanced. At the end, enjoy the rich sweetness by combining strawberry with condensed milk and sweet white wine. It is an experience where you can feel the various sweetness of strawberries by pairing.
We also offer pairing with non-alcoholic drinks using sencha, gyokuro, and roasted green tea. Drinks made with tea unique to Shizuoka bring out the various sweetness of strawberries, just like wine.
After dinner, leave the hotel with the invitation to the Night Strawberry Tour provided in your room. The destination is a house with shining illuminations.
Once inside, there are strawberry lanes in front of you. A red carpet is laid between the lanes, giving you the excitement of being invited to a party. The house is reserved, so you can enjoy strawberry picking at night to your heart’s content.
Beni Hoppe is a strawberry born in Shizuoka that was bred by crossing the strawberry varieties “Akihime” and “Sachinoka”. The name comes from the rich taste that makes the cheeks fall off. The red cheeks of “Izu Hollies”, which is affiliated with this program, have also won a prize at “Food Action Nippon” sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, which commends excellent products from all over Japan.

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.
