Because of the design constraints - no chopstick illustrations, no red and black, no decorative kanji, no stereotypical Japanese visuals, and no Scandinavian minimalism, the aim was to create something more original and expressive. A bohemian-inspired style was chosen to bring warmth and personality, instead of a strict or predictable look. The interiors combine natural textures with subtle elements like paper lanterns, giving a soft hint of Japanese culture without relying on obvious symbols.

The logo uses a mix of an elegant font, a clean sans-serif, and a handwritten style to create a balance between refinement and craft. No kanji was used, keeping the design simple and accessible. The color palette avoids traditional choices and instead uses calm, earthy tones like terracotta, soft green, cream, and deep charcoal - helping the brand feel modern, warm, and comfortable in both cities.
