Three years have passed since the renowned Shichiken house and celebrated Monegasque chef Alain Ducasse joined forces to explore Japanese sake. Their collaboration gave rise to the “Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake” aperitif and the “Alain Ducasse Sustainable Spirit,” which can be enjoyed as a digestif or a cocktail base.

Founded in 1750, Shichiken is one of Japan?s most revered sake breweries, celebrated for its exceptional sake crafted from Mount Kaikoma?s pristine spring waters, naturally filtered through granite bedrock. Over 13 generations, Shichiken has blended tradition and innovation, producing sake that embodies both heritage and contemporary artistry.

Now, Shichiken?s Yamanashi Meijo and Chef Alain Ducasse are partnering again featuring exclusive dinners in seven of the celebrated chef?s restaurants worldwide, starting in Tokyo on October 22, 2024, before moving to Bangkok, Naples, Monaco, Paris, London, and New York. Each event offers a unique pairing of Shichiken?s sake with a curated menu of French dishes, showcasing the harmony between Japanese and French craftsmanship.
