Bruno Paillard said the partnership had been borne out of a shared ethos. "As a boutique Champagne house, we only partner with restaurants who share our passion for excellence and dedication to creating a memorable experience for guests," he said. "From the instant I met Shimon, I knew we spoke the same language. We are both pioneers with the utmost respect for origins and originality and the art of dining."

Shimon Bokovza said the restaurant was honoured to be partnering with one of Champagne's premier producers. "I had the pleasure of visiting Bruno's estate to see the inimitable terroir and the unparalleled craftsmanship behind each bottle - a commitment to quality that we uphold at Sushisamba. As two very passionate individuals in the worlds of food and beverage, I see this relationship promising many exciting future endeavours."
