The water is our mirror
Without water, there is no life. To spread awareness about the rational use of water resources and promoting drinking tap water, JRE-Jeunes Restaurateurs, an association of chefs and restaurant owners, have joined forces with important strategic partners Steklarna Hrastnik and the organizers of the Bled Water Forum. We want to uncompromisingly offer our guests the best that Slovenia has to offer - in the first place the opportunity to taste and get to know tap water. Bottle RE ◦ voda | RE ◦ water is a prestigious, superbly designed and at the same time ecological and sustainable glass packaging. Superior clean glass, free of heavy metals is the safest packaging. As such, it respects the most valuable content it carries. Clean water.
JRE chef’s knife: Sharpness of creativity
Dedication to detail guides every step of a chef’s knife: forging, shaping, hardening, grinding and polishing. Blacksmiths observe the shifts of energy, how things break, when something is enough and when something more needs to be added. A handmade knife is thus a unique forged iron product, which carries the passion and creativity of the blacksmith. And when a chef gets their hands on it, the creativity only continues and the sharpness of the blade makes it a pleasure to work with.
Wine Stories 2023
We are looking for the wine that embodies the winemaker himself, represents the environment in which it was grown and the grape variety from which it originated. The wine that can present the beauty of Slovenian winemaking in one glass. Every year, JRE-Slovenija together with Nova KBM, other partners and expertise support, weave the story of first-class winemakers and select 6 top wines, which we equip in an exclusive package.

When art, banking and fine cuisine come together
The ceramic bowl for paying bills is a creation bank, the JRE association and the artist. It is made in the kintsugi technique, which teaches us to admire what is imperfect and encourages us to repair damaged objects. The broken parts of the cup are joined together with glue with golden dust, which gives the product even more value and delivers the message about the strength of the connection.
