  • Sunnyhills is a cake shop or bakery in Aoyama Tokyo that specializes in a type of pineapple cake.  The building has been designed with very unique architecture, covered with three dimensional lattices of wooden slats that form around the exterior of shop.  It was designed by architect Kengo Kuma.  This joint system, used in making shoji paper doors is called Jiigoku Gumi and despite its modern look it is in fact a traditional method used in Japanese wooden architecture. That is, vertical and horizontal cross pieces of the same width are entwined in each other to form a grid.  Traditionally the two pieces intersect in two dimensions, but in the case of this building they take on different dimensions which gives its form.  The architect wanted to give the building a softer atmosphere to blend in with the neighborhood so wood was used.

  • Katsunuma Wine Country Art Cafe - A young Japanese man raised in Katsunuma, Yamanashi was dispatched to France in 1870  to learn techniques in winemaking and from these beginnings many wineries were established in Katsunuma. Since the 1870s, wineries in Koshu and Katsunuma have continued to refine their product to cultivate some fairly impressive wines.  In just the Katsunuma area alone, one can find well over 200 winemakers. Many of the wineries, including Grace, Chateau Katsunuma and Kurambon among the finest in the region, have tasting rooms and tours of their vineyards.  This has started a “wine boom” in Japan not only with imported wines from France, California, Chile and Italy with the home-grown varieties. Wine tours have the effect of increasing tourism to Yamanashi and so twee hotels have opened in the area as well as European style restaurants, cafes and bakeries to compliment the wines.
