A French Culinary Journey: Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse Arrives in Osaka
The renowned French biscuit specialty shop,
Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse, is set to make its debut in the
Kansai region at
Daimaru Shinsaibashi on
July 18, 2025. This opening marks a significant expansion of the brand founded by one of the world's most acclaimed chefs,
Alain Ducasse, who opened the first boutique in Paris in September 2022.
About Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse
Le Biscuit Alain Ducasse was born out of Chef Ducasse's relentless pursuit of excellence in the culinary arts. By applying a chef's perspective to biscuit-making, the brand focuses on creating what they call
'Biscuit Cuisine,' which reflects the intricate craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients that define Ducasse’s cuisine. The biscuits are handcrafted in their workshop with careful attention to detail, reinforcing the notion that each biscuit is a labor of love.
Since its international expansion began with a store in
Nihonbashi, Tokyo, in
October 2024, the brand has quickly grown in popularity, with subsequent openings in
Shibuya and
Haneda Airport. Now, it makes its way to
Osaka, a city famous for its culinary delights.
What to Expect in Osaka
At the new boutique, visitors will be immersed in the sophisticated world of Ducasse's creations, featuring a range of popular items like
'Pure Butter,' which emphasizes the rich flavor of fine butter, and
'Exza,' showcasing the beauty of grains. The focal point will be the
'Palets,' which embody the brand's culinary biscuit philosophy. Moreover,
'Carré Pur Beurre Origin Noir & Lait,' a biscuit topped with chocolate, will make its Japan debut here—an exclusive blend of nostalgic flavors combined with Ducasse's innovative approach.
In addition to the boutique's exquisite offerings, an eat-in area will be available, allowing customers to enjoy the
'Soft Serve Pure Butter' ice cream, an enticing blend of smooth creaminess featuring pieces of buttery biscuit and hazelnut. The boutique promises a delightful experience where every bite evokes the essence of French pastry artistry.
