This year, the modern-day Chaîne des Rôtisseurs proudly celebrates its 75th anniversary. Originally founded in France in 1248, the Chaîne is the world’s oldest international gastronomic society. Though it was dissolved during the French Revolution in 1793, it was revived in 1950 by five founding members over a dinner in Paris. In June 2025, a grand ceremony was held in Paris to commemorate this milestone.
The Bailliage National du Japon, now in its 48th year, has continued to grow with a deep respect for tradition and prestige. This year’s Grand Chapitre Japon will be hosted by the Kanto Bailliage, under the leadership of our new Bailli Provincial, Mr. Kundo Koyama. A rich three-day program of exceptional events is planned.
We warmly welcome members from across Japan and around the world to join us for an unforgettable gastronomic experience in Tokyo, the culinary capital of Japan.
Vive La Chaîne!
