October 12th: Memories of the fabulous pairings at this year’s Shichiken x Alain Ducasse dinner, which was held in the elegant surroundings of 1 star ESTERRE🌟🥂🤩.
The evening celebrated Yamanishi Meijo and the Ducasse Group’s enduring relationship as well as the launch of “Alain Ducasse Sustainable Spirit” — a shochu which embodies their shared philosophy of sustainably utilising natural resources🙌🏻🌏♻️.
Made from distilled sake kasu (a by-product of the sake brewing process) and then aged in Hakushu whiskey barrels, the resulting “spirit” has a refreshing Ginjō-like aroma, a mellow, multi-faceted flavour, and crystalline texture that evokes a sense of the pristine waters of Hakushu 🏔️🌾👏🏻.
Sadly, I forgot to take a photo of the superb Tokyo Negroni that was served with hors d'oeuvres🤦🏻‍♀️, but you can find out more about the story behind Alain Ducasse Sustainable Spirit as well as cocktail recipes via the link below 🍹🍸👇🏻.
