Taku Yashi

The brand identity for the Japanese omakase and sake bar required something dynamic, progressive, yet grounded in Japan's gastronomic heritage and long-standing art-form of sashimi. Notions of precision and repetition served as the jump off point for the brand language, designed to honour the specialist craft and ignite the imagination of what could be served by the chef.
