Every year, regardless of the weather, the Prestige Champagne Maison Krug who keeps providing the best champagne to the world, has carefully selected 13 chefs over other 150 ambassadors. Among these 13 chefs, there were 2 top Japanese chefs who will present their "KRUG x PEPPER" pairing menu.

Since its founding in 1843, Krug has adhered to a philosophy of maximizing the individuality of each section of the vineyard.

The idea of respecting individual sections of vineyards, a belief that founder Joseph Krug has consistently embraced throughout his life, has given birth to the unique concept of "shine a light on a single ingredient". This led to hold a project once a year, among the top chefs of Krug Ambassador in various countries, with a theme of one single ingredient that differs every year. And this year, this project has marked as the 5th anniversary

This January, 13 chefs selected carefully over other 150 Krug Ambassadors or so, went on a journey to explore the pairing of KRUG and Pepper which was the single ingredient of year 2019.

From Japan, Chef Yosuke SUGALABO and Pâtissier Kazutoshi Narita visited Oaxaca, Mexico, the birthplace of Pepper, and devised their own pairing menu.
