[Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store] “Tokyo Curry Culture” The second culture movement that spreads from curry

Curry curator curry cell / Hiroaki Matsu, who sends curry information, supervises items that feel curry on the four axes of "curry x lifestyle", "curry x fashion", "curry x art", and "curry x music".

The Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store will hold "Tokyo Curry Culture" from February 17th to March 9th.

Held in September last year, this is the second popular project that curry lovers went to Ikebukuro.
In the event space, we will sell works by creators full of "curry love" and curry related products, and also hold mini events. In the basement of the department store, the eat-in store "Oshokuji Chuu" is changed every week, and the popular "curry" store is Jack, and you can enjoy the taste of three seasonal stores.
This project is produced by Mr. Hiroaki Matsu, who is known as "Curry Cell" who has traveled to more than 3,000 curry shops and knows all about curry. It's an exciting three weeks made possible by Mr. Matsu's curry network.

A collaboration between the movie theaters "Uplink" and "TOKYO CURRY CULTURE" in Kichijoji, Shibuya. We are pleased to announce the release of a spice liquor kit inspired by the work of film director Kenneth Anger.
A special spice MIX developed to create further expressive effects by combining a movie that controls sight and hearing with spice liquor that controls taste and smell. By soaking in your favorite liquor (1 bag in 750 ml is a guide) for 2 weeks or more, spice liquor that amplifies the world view of the work is completed. This is already a "drinking experimental movie".

Butterfly pea that dyes sake blue, Nepalese pepper Timuru that causes numbness. When you want a psychedelic uplifting feeling.

● Kenneth Anger Spice Sake MIX <Fireworks> Price: 880 yen
