The popular rock band Kururi has been updating the Japanese rock scene by incorporating various musical elements with their unique sense of style. Among them, the unique part of the band cannot be described without Shigeru Kishida, the guitarist and vocalist. The fact that he has appeared on "Tamori Club" and other TV programs is more than enough proof of this.
Shigeru Kishida has many other interests besides music.Urban Research Doors, Inc.. seems to be setting up something interesting.
Under the title of "Kissida's Fermentation Travel," "Hàkkou avec Kissnué," Kishida-san will travel from ( Saga Prefecture to ) Oita Prefecture in Kyushu, Japan, under the theme of "manufacturing and fermented foods. The event is being held at DOORS HOUSE, a curation space attached to the Minami-Senba store in Osaka, and will introduce the works of artists and food products that they encountered on their travels. The event is an opportunity to enjoy a selection of items found in the workshops, which are filled with the spirit of craftsmanship, and to enjoy a once-in-a-lifetime experience from tradition to innovation, along with the memories of the trip.
As part of this collaboration, Urban Research Doors' food labelDOORS GROCERY. will be selling original food products filled with Mr. Kishida's love of fermentation.
For example, the miso mayonnaise type shown above is a perfect marriage of miso, aged at low temperature for a long time by Aso Shoyu, and mayonnaise with just the right amount of sweetness. It can be spread on bread to make it look like a pizza , or spread on crackers.
630 yen each.
The two varieties are "Ureshino Black Tea," which has a sweet taste without sugar, and "Katsurabana Black Tea," which has a mouth-watering fragrance of fragrant fragrant rhinoceros flowers. 600 yen each (Katsurabana Black Tea is available at some stores). They are "Japanese black tea" made without the use of pesticides.
Based on the fermented foods she encountered on her travels, these original products were carefully selected by Ms. Kishida, who also loves fermented foods, after having her taste them. All of them are filled with love of fermentation. The tags on the packages are removable, a special feature only available at this event.
The products are sold at "Urban Research Doors" stores (not all series may be available at all stores).
And an original leaflet describing the places and memories of the trip that Mr. Kishida and I visited together is available at all Urban Research Doors stores. . Please note that the quantity is limited and subject to availability.
Special sites like this. is also ready. Here you will find details of this event, a record of the trip, and an original movie.
Although it has been gaining momentum over the past few years, the world of fermentation still has a lot of potential and depth. This event may be the gateway to this profound field.
