Our Logo and Yosemoji Caligraphy

Saki means happiness in Japanese. In order to convey our commitment to quality and authenticity, we decided to commission the Japanese logo to Umon Tachibana, the last disciple of Ukon Tachibana and one of the only 16 authorised Yose Moji Calligrapher in Japan.

Yose Moji is one of the four types of Edo Moji letters created during Edo era (15 to 17th century) and used to promote traditional stage art / performance such as Kabuki, Sumo and Rakugo (storytelling).

The traditional wish behind Yose Moji calligraphy to lead a Rakugo stage to the full-house success by the unique technique minimising the blank space between each brush is another reason why we chose to use Yose Moji.

We wish Saki’s commitment to quality and authenticity to be appreciated by as many audience as we received at our stage of culinary art .
