Discover the Perfect Pairing: Kakoi x Minuty Collaboration

From March 23 to April 12, 2026, Kakoi, run by Harapeko Inc., will host a limited-time collaboration with the renowned French rosé brand, Minuty. The event aims to celebrate the beauty of cherry blossoms with a delightful pairing of grilled chicken and exquisite rosé wine, inviting patrons to experience the essence of spring in a unique culinary journey.

A Taste of Provence

Château Minuty, located in the famed Provence region of France near Saint-Tropez, has garnered its prestigious reputation since its establishment in 1936. Known for producing exceptional rosé wines, the estate has been preserved by the Mattón family for three generations. Recognized as a classified growth (Cru Classé) vineyard in Provence, Minuty's rosé has adorned the wine lists of luxury hotels and celebrities worldwide, showcasing its elegance and exclusivity.

The light salmon pink hue, paired with fruity aromas reminiscent of white peaches and citrus, along with a crisp acidity and mineral undertones, makes Minuty rosé a natural partner for Kakoi's signature grilled chicken. The delicate balance between lightness and flavor perfectly complements the grilled delicacies offered.

Grilled Chicken: An Exquisite Creation

Kakoi's grilled chicken is crafted under the esteemed supervision of Ishii, the chef from the renowned Osaka eatery “Torisho Ishii.” Each dish is a unique creation, featuring carefully selected chicken cuts that are grilled to perfection, allowing diners to savor the rich flavors and delicious aromas. The crispy skin and succulent meat create an ideal harmony with the rosé wine, striking a perfect balance that enhances the dining experience.

The collaboration was born from a shared belief that while white wine might be too light and red wine too heavy, rosé strikes the ideal balance. Each sip and bite creates a newfound appreciation for the art of pairing food and wine.

Visual and Culinary Indulgence

During the collaboration, Kakoi will feature a special photo booth designed around the themes of cherry blossoms and rosé. This unique setup will create a vibrant atmosphere, providing a sensory experience that highlights the beauty of spring.
