“Eat Matcha Chirimen”, which you can enjoy with tea leaves, has been released from “Kyoto Ichi no Den”, which sells secret Saikyo pickles that have been passed down for many years.
Released a collaboration product with the Kyoto Uji tea specialty store “Mitsuboshien Kanbayashi-san Nyuhonten”. You can enjoy the rich aroma of tea and the umami derived from chirimen with a bite.
“Eat Matcha Chirimen” is a combination of matcha and tencha from “Samsungen Kambayashi Saniri Main Store”. By cooking it with light soy sauce, the aroma, sweetness and umami of the tea leaves are enhanced. Chirimen-jako is carefully selected by hand from small, clean grains made in Japan.
By adjusting the heat and the cooking time, it is finished in a deep green color that is appetizing and has a bright appearance. By using matcha and tencha that can be eaten as it is, it is a chirimen-jako that you can enjoy the taste of the tea itself. You can enjoy it not only with freshly cooked rice, but also with ochazuke.
Tencha … The raw leaves before they are made into matcha with a stone mill.

Samsung Garden Kamibayashi Saniri Main Store
A long-established store specializing in Uji tea in Kyoto, which has a history and tradition of nearly 450 years since its founding in the Tensho era. It has inherited the title of “Samsung Garden” for generations as a tea master for the shogunate, and its crest is said to be the origin of the map symbol of the tea plantation. In addition to selling genuine Uji tea, we are also working to pass on culture by setting up a Uji matcha reference room and holding a matcha making experience class for tourists.

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.
