Looking back at the Gala Fukuoka 2025
On Monday, 19 May 2025, we were pleased to host the Fukuoka Gala Dinner 2025 at the Solaria Nishitetsu Hotel Fukuoka.
The event, held in collaboration with the city of Bordeaux and the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux (CIVB), welcomed 191 guests for an evening of food, culture, and connection.
We were honored to welcome Ms Akie Omagari, deputy governor of the prefecture of Fukuoka, Mr Eiichi Nakamura, deputy mayor of the city of Fukuoka. We also thank Ms Sandrine Mouchet, consul general of France in Kyoto, Mr Yoshiaki Matsuo, mayor of the city of Arita, and Mr Christophe Chateau, communication director of CIVB for attending.
The dinner featured a special menu created by the Michelin-starred Chef Mathieu Martin from “Saint James” in Bordeaux, and the entertainment was provided by two former actresses of the Takarazuka Revue, Yu Hodaka and Yukino Kojyo.
The evening concluded with a tombola, where 56 prizes were awarded to lucky winners.
We thank the companies who contributed prizes and all who helped make the evening a success. A special thank you once again to the city of Bordeaux and the Conseil Interprofessionnel du Vin de Bordeaux, and to our generous supporters.
