“Veggie Cola” won a prize at the Saitama New Product Award 2021. Iruma Cable Television produces leafy vegetables at its factories with the aim of realizing sustainable agriculture and revitalizing the region. Veggie cola is a product that makes effective use of unused parts of vegetables generated during manufacturing.
“Craft cola” is booming after craft beer. It is a cola handmade by craftsmen. Generally, it is made by boiling sugar, spices such as cola nuts, herbs, and citrus fruits such as oranges and lemons. There are local craft colas all over the country now.
Veggie Cola uses Yuzu Katsuragi from Moroyama Town and safe vegetables (3 kinds of lettuce and arugula) produced at Smile Farm. Katsuragi Yuzu is said to be the oldest cultivated Yuzu in Japan, and is characterized by its rich aroma and taste. The result is a cola with a refreshing taste that matches well with yuzu and vegetables.

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.
