Cherish Cafe
Cherish Cafe is a specialty cafe serving fruit-filled daifuku and thoughtfully crafted drinks, created as a quiet celebration of love and memory, where each fruit-filled daifuku feels like a small treasure. Artwork that my grandparents created together—my grandmother’s floral paintings and my grandfather’s calligraphy—lives throughout the café, gracing coffee cups, menus, and packaging. Individual daifuku are wrapped in black hexagonal boxes topped with a white origami jasmine flower, each revealing a replica of their artwork inside the lid.
Six of these keepsake boxes nest inside a Neenah Black Soft Touch box, where motifs are brought to life through foil stamping—echoing the beauty of traditional black lacquer and mother-of-pearl inlays. Each box is wrapped in fabric, a traditional Asian practice that heightens the sense of care and ritual, turning every purchase into a moment to truly savor.
