- Capital and business alliance with the premium sweets brand "BLANCA" developed by the famous Michelin-starred Spanish restaurant "acá"
"acá" is a Spanishi restaurant that has been highly acclaimed by Michelin Kyoto and Osaka receiving first star for four consecutive years, and is tough to get a reservation. Tetsuo Azuma, the owner and chef of the restaurant, supervises premium sweets brand BLANCA.
BLANCA's Signature Basque Cheesecake, based on the concept of "a sweet to enjoy
the burnt taste", was not advertised or promoted, and even though it was only secretly launched on a sales website, it spread by word of mouth through some foodies and quickly became a fantastic and difficult to get sweet that is sold out in a matter of minutes every day.
Seasonal flavors using carefully selected high-quality ingredients, such as Japanese chestnuts (autumn), Amazonian cacao and Tolosa beans (winter), and green tea (spring), have also been well received and favored by many repeat customers.
We share BLANCA's philosophy and have been developing BLANCA's pop-up shops at BIOTOP Shirokanedai, SANT ROPEZ Ebisu Atre, and SALON GINZA SABOU since shortly after its website opening, and now we have concluded a capital and business alliance with BLANCA K.K.
Through this alliance, we will utilize BLANCA's product development capabilities and Jun's store management capabilities to expand our business.
In addition to the intermittent development of pop-up shops, we will open actual stores to convey BLANCA to as many customers as possible and to deliver the "pleasure of tasting premium" in their daily lives.BLANCA official website

2013 Opened Spanish Restaurant "acá" in Kyoto to offer Spanish cuisine as a course.
2016 Awarded Michelin first star for four years in a row by "Michelin Kyoto and Osaka".
2018 GOLD awarded by "tabelog award" for three consecutive years.
The store in Kyoto was closed in January 2020 and moved to Nihonbashi, Tokyo in August of the same year.

The Chateau Jun Winery is managed by Jun Co., Ltd. and always participates the competition every year to improve the quality of its products.
After winning the "Bronze Award" and the "Encouragement Award" at the Japan Wine Competition, from which the winery received 12 awards this year, it is rewarded the "Silver Award" upon its first entry in Asia's largest international wine competition, "Japan WINE CHALLENGE 2016".
"Chateau Jun Koshu 2015" is the product that received the award. The wine has a deep taste, supported by its sweetness resembling the fruit and the right level of acidity.
The Kobayashi vineyard, from where the grapes used for this wine are grown, is well accepted by our customers as the representative vineyard of Chateau Jun.
Despite competing with many wineries that have multiple entries, the wine that was created based on Chateau Jun's standard was awarded the "Silver Award".
Chateau Jun always strives to provide the best taste to its customers, and in the past, our wine was offered as an in-flight service on JAL international flights.
