With the concept “A journey to meet bread,” they carefully curate popular bakeries across Japan from an editor’s perspective. A hallmark is the chance to discover bakeries that are rarely seen at other events or fairs. At its inaugural run in January 2025, about 30,000 visitors came over three days, and “Futako-Tamagawa Select Bakery” was well received among bread lovers. For its second edition, renowned and popular shops from across the country that are hard to encounter at other events will gather once again.

Founded on the concept of “bread that creates communication,” it was born from the desire to connect people through meaningful bread—like an outlet connects—rather than just serving delicious loaves. Using domestically produced wheat, their breads undergo long, low‑temperature fermentation and center on hard‑style loaves that let you fully savor the aroma and umami of wheat, with a highly refined lineup. The more you chew, the more the flavor unfolds—a simple yet deeply satisfying taste. ■HAL‘S BAGEL.（ハルズベーグル）　Meguro, Tokyo First appearance at a bread event!

A bakery dedicated to “NY bagels,” rare in Japan, refined to suit the Japanese palate. Made with Hokkaido wheat, they feature a densely packed, “chewy” texture; the more you chew, the more the wheat’s sweetness spreads. Classics like plain and salted butter are executed exceptionally well. With playful flavor lineups and a polished aesthetic, it’s a bagel brand currently drawing lots of attention. ■COQUELICOT ROUGE（コクリコルージュ）　Ise City, Mie Prefecture A bakery that’s like a croissant museum, boasting an overwhelming variety of inventive croissants. Not only adorable to look at, but the flavors and the crisp‑and‑fluffy texture are superb! As for other familiar classics, depending on the type, multiple kinds of flour and butter—carefully selected to meet the chef’s standards—are chosen and used appropriately, with attention paid even to the water. It’s brimming with delightful surprises. ■LOTUS Coffee Beans（ロータス コーヒー ビーンズ）　Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture A specialty coffee shop in Kobe pairs perfectly with bread! This specialty coffee shop in Rokko, Kobe is renowned for its “roasting that draws out sweetness”, finely adjusting the heat and finish to suit each bean’s character. The beans, carefully roasted in a small workshop, are free of off-flavors and distinguished by a long-lasting aromatic finish. Beloved by locals, the shop recommends the optimal beans to match your preferences, making the very act of choosing coffee a pleasure. ■「Children’s Bread Marche」 A bread market where kids can shop on their own debuts! The “Children’s Bread Marche”, where kids can experience “bread shopping”, makes its first appearance. With bread tickets in hand, they can choose the breads they want to eat from rows upon rows of loaves. It’s also perfect for a first shopping experience. Starting with the hugely popular Toyama bakery ＜パンダパンダ＞, we’ve put together a special lineup of cute, mini-sized breads for children. Many “Instagrammable” breads that are easy for little hands to choose—and that even adults will want—will be on display. Through the excitement of choosing for themselves and encounters with delicious bread, we offer memories you can make only at 「二子玉川セレクトベーカリー 2026」. ※Please check the official website for details. arrow_forward_ios Read more Play 00:00 00:25 01:20 Mute  

The first-ever large-scale exhibition spanning the entire Ghost in the Shell anime series, 'Ghost in the Shell Exhibition: Ghost and the Shell', will be held at Toranomon Hills 「TOKYO NODE」! With the full cooperation of Production I.G—the studio behind the animation of successive entries since the 1995 theatrical release 『GHOST IN THE SHELL/攻殻機動隊』—and Science SARU, which is producing a new anime slated to air in 2026, this exhibition takes Masamune Shirow’s 1989 original as its starting point and surveys every work in the anime series. It is the first large-scale exhibition in the series’ history that lets visitors traverse 30 years of Ghost in the Shell. In addition to works by successive directors such as Mamoru Oshii, Kenji Kamiyama, Kazuya Kise, and Shinji Aramaki, the exhibition also plans to showcase pieces related to the new anime by Science SARU scheduled for 2026. Visitors can appreciate and compare the distinctive themes and worlds of each work. During the exhibition period, a wide array of exhibition-exclusive original goods will also be on sale. Don’t miss special items available only here. The exhibition is also scheduled to tour overseas, so keep an eye on new developments as Ghost in the Shell expands worldwide. This is an unprecedented exhibition where anime, technology, and art converge. Take this opportunity to pay a visit. 《Highlights》 ◆ Tracing the origins of the entire series — Over 600 archival items, including previously unreleased materials — We will present more than 600 valuable materials produced throughout the making of the Ghost in the Shell series—ranging from a vast number of key drawings and setting materials to storyboards—including items never before made public. Through numerous archives and director-specific interviews premiering at this exhibition, you can compare and experience the sources of each installment while getting a feel for the reality of the production floor. This is a rare chance to witness the creative site of Ghost in the Shell—captivating even for those who aren’t yet fans. ◆ Unearthing the future from the depths of information — An immersive, full-body experience — We plan immersive installations and interactive, hands-on exhibits unique to TOKYO NODE. Also screening are valuable interview videos that interpret the series’ story from each director’s perspective, offering new viewpoints on Ghost in the Shell you may not have known. A particular highlight is the “DIGる（ディグル）” exhibit, where visitors themselves access the world and vast troves of information of Ghost in the Shell to unearth hints for the future. It is a one-of-a-kind exhibit that invites you to delve deep into the series’ worldview and decode it with both thought and the senses. ◆ A place where “past and present” intersect — Redefining “What is human?” — This exhibition is not merely for viewing; through each experiential display it seeks to overlay the future envisioned and questioned by Ghost in the Shell with changes in the real world, becoming a place where every visitor can encounter “their own Ghost in the Shell.” Furthermore, it reexamines the universal question Ghost in the Shell has consistently posed—“What is a human?”—from the perspective of contemporary cutting-edge technologies such as AI and BMI (Brain–Machine Interfaces). By unraveling the relationship between “GHOST” and “SHELL,” it offers visitors the opportunity to move between “past and present” and reconsider their own existence. ◆ 'Ghost in the Shell' Another Perspective - A Co-creative Project with Creators Around the World - During the exhibition period, we plan to present installation displays co-created with contemporary artists and creators active in Japan and abroad who have been influenced by 'Ghost in the Shell.' This will be a valuable opportunity to experience firsthand the impact and diversity that 'Ghost in the Shell' has had on creators around the world. ◆ In addition to original merchandise, an original shop unique to this crossover exhibition Along with original merchandise exclusive to this exhibition, we will open an original shop made possible precisely because it is a crossover exhibition.

100% Sweden! An exhibition bringing together masterpieces of Swedish painting. This exhibition offers a full-fledged introduction to paintings from the golden age of Swedish art, which have drawn global attention in recent years. With the full cooperation of the Nationalmuseum, Sweden, it approaches the uniquely Nordic sensibility of living richly in harmony with nature through captivating paintings created in Sweden from the late 19th to the early 20th century. This will be the first special exhibition commemorating a milestone year for the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, which celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2026. [Highlights of the exhibition] 1. 100% Sweden!—Exploring the uniquely Nordic sensibility of living richly with nature All works on display are by Swedish artists. The works express Sweden’s austere yet abundant nature and a warm gaze toward everyday life. With the keywords “Nature,” “Light,” and “The Radiance of the Everyday,” visitors will sense in the works the roots of the wellbeing-oriented lifestyle that characterizes Sweden today. 2. The gaze of artists who pioneered new forms of expression In the latter half of the 19th century, Swedish painters sought subjects that expressed their nation’s identity and methods of expression worthy of them. Moving away from the Realism and Naturalism they had studied in France, they forged distinctive approaches that emphasized personal emotion and lyrical atmosphere. This exhibition focuses on works from the 1880s to 1915, considered the golden age of Swedish art. 3. An exhibition dedicated to Swedish painting that has recently been attracting worldwide attention! In recent years, large-scale exhibitions have been held in countries such as France and the United States, and Swedish painting has been drawing international attention. With the full cooperation of the Nationalmuseum, Sweden, this exhibition brings together masterpieces of Swedish painting, including works by national painter Carl Larsson and by August Strindberg, also known as a playwright.
