Menu, signage, takeout bag and custom wallpaper created for the small Japanese restaurant in my neighborhood in South Minneapolis. The design features a clean design and a set of simple food-themed icons.
ICON SET
Used throughout the space, each icon represents a core offering from the menu: appetizers, maki, nigiri, noodles, soup, sake and tea.
The central icon is based on the popular Japanese symbol of good luck, Daruma. Often given as a gift of encouragement, Daruma comes with two blank white eyes. Paint in the pupil of one eye with a wish or goal in mind, and paint in the second pupil when your wish comes true!
