Since 2018, the Chichibu distillery, founded by Ichiro Akuto in 2008, has paid tribute to Paris every year through an exclusive edition: the Chichibu Paris Edition .
For this 2025 vintage, the Japanese house once again explores the links between Tokyo and Paris , two capitals united by their creative energy and their unique urban identity.
Inspired by iconic neighborhoods—Montmartre and Asakusa, Le Marais and Harajuku, Les Champs-Élysées and Ginza—this edition comes in six colorful labels with a pop and kawaii style, evoking postage stamps symbolizing travel and the correspondence between the two cultures.
