The holidays are a time of celebrations, delicious foods, and busy schedules—but all of that can also make it harder to stick to healthy habits. During this time of year, it can be easy to fall into an all-or-nothing mindset that leaves you feeling sluggish, bloated, or frustrated by weight gain when January rolls around….

For many people, the REAL festive feast is on Boxing Day, when you’re free to pick at the leftovers from the day before, building a towering turkey sandwich or dipping some cold roasties in a cheeky dollop of mustard or slightly congealed gravy.

當日本擁有 350 年歷史的傳統酒造七賢（Shichiken）遇上法國米其林三星名廚 Alain Ducasse，一場融合東西方匠心的味覺革命就此誕生。兩位對工藝抱持絕對尊重及精益求精的匠人惺惺相惜，攜手推出氣泡清酒。 兩人聯乘的氣泡清酒延續七賢的「貴釀酒」傳統技藝，更融入國產櫻花木桶陳釀與香檳式的瓶內二次發酵工藝。以山梨縣純淨水源為基底，揉合地中海蔬菜與海鮮的靈感，帶來乳酪發酵醇香、野草莓與茴香的清新爆發，木桶賦予的甘醇微苦餘韻悠長，完美融合法國傳奇名廚 Alain Ducasse 及七賢 Sichiken 主理人北原對馬 (Kitahara Tsushima) 的味覺藝術。兩人此番東來作巡迴宴席，同時接受 GQ Hong Kong 訪問，大方分享酒造工藝與星級法國菜結合的種種細節。 GQ 專訪：世紀廚神 Alain Ducasse 當初為何想與日本酒造合作釀造氣泡清酒，而不是選擇香檳酒莊或生產其他氣泡酒？ 我們與七賢酒造的合作從來不是要做出香檳風格的產品，而是希望創造出一個擁有自身身份的飲品——既反映日本的風土，也融入我個人的料理哲學的成品。當我第一次品嚐七賢的清酒時，我的第一印象是氣泡很輕盈，散發出對大眾而言非你具新鮮感的香氣，而且擁有非常強烈的個性，這些特質讓我覺得它有潛力成為世界級的氣泡飲品。 法國料理與日本料理皆被聯合國教科文組織列為非物質文化遺產，這款清酒是否象徵兩大文化的橋樑？ 這款汽泡清酒不僅是日本與法國之間的文化橋樑，更是擔當了讓人歡聚的獨特角色。四年前我創立了「日本料理學院」（Collège Culinaire du Japon），七賢酒造也是成員之一，目的就是保護與推廣日本的飲食工藝。在這個意義上，我們早已搭建了兩國文化之間的橋樑。 氣泡清酒介於香檳、精釀啤酒與傳統清酒之間，您認為它菜單上，最適合用來配搭哪一道菜？這是個很有趣的問題，因為推出新品而舉辦全球巡迴發佈會，讓我們發現它可以輕鬆搭配前菜、主菜，甚至甜點。我的每位主廚都有不同的看法與做法，這也證明這款氣泡清酒能在任何餐桌上找到最適合它的配搭，非常百搭多樣。 如果只能從您目前的菜單中選一道招牌菜與這款氣泡清酒搭配，您會選哪一道？我最近於東京 Esterre 的晚宴中，有一道以士多啤梨為主角的甜點——「士多啤梨花、清酒泡沫、Mascarpone 冰淇淋」，士多啤梨與 Mascarpone 的香氣在口中綻放，隨後轉為滲着細緻的甜味與苦味，跟這款汽泡清酒搭配起來算得上完美。 GQ 專訪：七賢 CEO 北原對馬 這支氣泡清酒如何體現你們兩者的特色？Alain Ducasse 的料理以地中海的蔬菜與海鮮為中心，而蘋果酸（malic acid）是不可或缺的元素。因此我們使用了能產生蘋果酸的酵母與釀造方法，這在清酒中相當罕見。在製作過程中，我們將部分原酒冷藏在櫻木桶中陳放數個月，目的是做出溫柔口感，同時保留甜美微酸的櫻花風味。 七賢是山梨擁有 350 年歷史的傳統酒造，使用瓶內二次發酵釀造氣泡清酒，當中最大的挑戰是甚麼？ 最大的挑戰是不添加任何糖分，僅利用米澱粉轉化的葡萄糖，來達成穩定自然的氣泡。這在酒精發酵與碳酸發酵的平衡上非常困難。製作過程中，我們只將米精磨到約 70%，避免過度拋光，以保留米本身的鮮味與複雜的風味。 Photo Courtesy of Shichiken @ Facebook…
