A sustainable relationship between Shichiken and Alain Ducasse

Shichiken and Alain Ducasse launched Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake in 2021, and held events to pair the sake with Alain Ducasse’s cuisine at Le Meurice Alain Ducasse in palace hotel in Paris, as well as BEIGE Alain Ducasse Tokyo in Ginza in 2022. Both events were highly acclaimed by the media and gourmets in Japan and France.

Alain Ducasse Sparkling Sake is a product that we have crafted to convey the original, innovative, and traditional Japanese sake industry to the world. It was also served at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in May 2023 as a representative product of Japan. During this process and dialogue, Shichiken and Alain Ducasse shared a common understanding of how we can build a sustainable future and society that values nature in the sake and gastronomy industries.

Alain Ducasse Sustainable Spirits utilizing sake lees was created from this mutual understanding and through a series of tastings and exchanges of opinion. Alain Ducasse Sustainable Spirits and Le Chocolat Alain Ducasse, a chocolatier run by Alain Ducasse, share the same values of tradition and innovation, and the art of craftsmanship, which made this collaboration possible.
