Bistro Roven, with the concept of “bringing color to food, warmth to daily life, and surprise to space,” will open its newest restaurant, “Lodging and Dining Roven Otaki-machi,” in Otaki-machi, Isumi County, Chiba Prefecture. The restaurant will offer an auberge-style lodging experience in an old Japanese landscape, using abundant ingredients from the Boso region.
We have two rooms: the “Denen-no-Ma,” a luxuriously renovated old private house, and the compact “Kura-no-Ma,” a renovated warehouse. Both of these rooms are available for private use, allowing you to spend your time at your leisure.
Bistro Roven, which operates three restaurants in Tokyo, has created a special bistro for those staying in Otaki Town. The restaurant will offer course meals that can only be enjoyed in Otaki, using an abundance of ingredients from Boso and the bounty of the season.
In addition, lunch and café hours are open to non-guests, and in addition to cabbage rolls and hamburger steaks made with Bistro Roven’s original demi-glace sauce, the restaurant offers dishes exclusive to Roven Otaki Town.

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.
