The product will be sold at Kameya Mannendo direct sales stores from October 1, 2023 (Sun.) until around late November.
Inside the mochi dough, which is made of shiny and soft new rice, is a sweet red bean paste made from Hokkaido azuki beans and Mitarashi sauce, which is made from the famous “Shimousa soy sauce” for a deeper and more refined taste. One bite will fill your mouth with the rich flavor of new rice and the gentle sweetness of Koshian. In addition, the rich taste of the Mitarashi Sauce that overflows from the inside enhances the flavor of the rice cake, giving it a mellow flavor that cannot be tasted anywhere else.

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.
