Global Champagne Brand “Beau Joie” Appoints Yuki Takeuchi of Kinnotake Resorts as Its First-Ever Brand Ambassador

May.16.25

First collaboration with a Japanese ryokan brand begins—now serving at Bar bamboo.

Kinnotake Co., Ltd. (President: Masaaki Yahata), which operates five luxury ryokans and three restaurants in the Hakone area of Kanagawa Prefecture, is proud to announce that Yuki Takeuchi, Beverage Director of Kinnotake Resorts, has been appointed as the first official brand ambassador for the American-born luxury champagne brand Beau Joie Champagne.

Beau Joie is a globally recognized champagne brand, known for being served at championship celebrations for American sports teams and at prestigious venues such as the French Embassy. It has received numerous international accolades, including a 93-point rating from Wine Spectator and a 94-point rating from Wine Enthusiast. The brand is also celebrated for its sustainable production methods, including pesticide-free farming and night harvesting.

The appointment was inspired by a visit from Mr. Toshikazu Tani, CEO of A-Innovation Corporate, which distributes Beau Joie in Japan. During his stay at Kinnotake Resorts, he met Mr. Takeuchi, and the brand’s philosophy of offering “unparalleled experiences” strongly resonated with Kinnotake’s vision of creating an “extraordinary escape from the everyday.”

As the first phase of this collaboration, Bar bamboo, located within Kinnotake Sengokuhara and Kinnotake Tonosawa, is now offering a special pairing set featuring Beau Joie Champagne (by the bottle) and premium caviar. Future plans include immersive promotions and exclusive events across all Kinnotake Resort properties.
