A Concept Rooted in Joyful Play

The name 'MAISON YUHI' embodies the café's core philosophy: to foster a playful relationship with ice, encouraging visitors to indulge in the beautiful, aromatic, and textural elements of the dessert. Each bowl of shaved ice is meticulously crafted by the chef patissier, resembling a well-prepared dessert plate divided into layers, allowing for an unfolding flavor profile with each bite taken. Guests can expect a unique taste experience that changes with every spoonful, making this a feast for the senses.

Meet the Chef Patissier: Shuko Suzuki

Leading the culinary creativity at MAISON YUHI is Chef Patissier Shuko Suzuki. Raised in a household immersed in a variety of culinary cultures, thanks to her linguist father’s connections with international guests, Shuko developed a passion for the culinary arts from an early age. After initially pursuing a career in healthcare, she couldn’t shake her dream of becoming a patissier. Shuko honed her skills at various renowned establishments, such as Patisserie Giraffe, before founding 'Geluk Kitchen' to create allergy-friendly desserts for children. She later encountered shaved ice at an eatery and was captivated by its artistic potential as the ultimate plated dessert. Today, she brings her vision and expertise to MAISON YUHI, delivering exceptional shaved ice creations.

Creating an Interactive Dining Experience

In realizing its vision of a multi-sensory shaved ice experience, MAISON YUHI offers two types of spoons and focuses on nuanced details—from the shimmer of the serving dishes to the way light interacts with the presentation. The café’s design emphasizes an unshakeable table structure to enhance stability, ensuring that diners can fully immerse themselves in the artful creations designed by Chef Shuko Suzuki. ORSO Co. meticulously crafted the aesthetic of MAISON YUHI to highlight the desserts without becoming overly ornate, ensuring that the user's experience remains at the forefront. As the café embarks on this new journey, it promises to continually innovate and share interactive ice experiences with guests.
