The Krug cooler by Junji Tanigawa or creative excellence
Krug and Japan: shared feelings
For over twenty years, Krug and Japan have enjoyed a passionate and sincere relationship.
In 1989, Olivier Krug discovered the Empire of the Rising Sun, and immersed himself in the Japanese culture and mentality, steeped in tradition and authenticity.
Carrying these same ancestral values, the House of Krug has made Japan its territory of choice.
Krug Lovers in Japan:
For several decades now, the Japanese have been among Krug’s biggest fans.
These “goodwill” ambassadors rally and unite personalities around the world, as free-spirited as Joseph Krug himself once was.
Sure of their choices, these epicureans defy fashions and assert their constant quest for excellence, their attachment to tradition and their obsession with detail.
This year, two Japanese artists have created a work as unexpected as it is beautiful: a sophisticated cooler, fashioned by a Japanese master blacksmith. Thus was born the first copper bucket by Junji Tanigawa.
The Krug cooler by Junji Tanigawa: the union of Krug and Gyokusendo
Visiting the House in Reims, renowned ultra-inventive designer Junji Tanigawa designed a unique bucket that preserves the aromas and finesse of Krug. He chose Gyokusendo, a company that has specialized in copper shaping for 200 years. Motoyuki Tamagawa, the company’s manager and master craftsman, handcrafts a unique work of art: the copper bucket is born.
Available from the best wine merchants at a guide price of €1300.
