Restaurant branding
Komugi Biyori
A warm hospitality identity concept explored through bakery display, natural materials, and packaging.
Studio concept, not client work
Case narrative
Background
Komugi Biyori is a self-initiated neighbourhood bakery-restaurant concept. The case follows the full journey from recognising the storefront and approaching the counter to reading the menu and leaving with an order.
Case narrative
Challenge
A bakery photograph can express mood but not how a restaurant works. The challenge was to give signage, item categories, price reading, display, and takeaway handoff one coherent visual system.
Case narrative
Insight
Customers do not absorb a brand all at once. Trust is built through short decisions: finding the entrance, understanding the offer, knowing how to order, and recognising the package received at handoff.
Case narrative
Strategy
Warm ivory, kraft paper, and muted olive establish recognition. A consistent system of rectangular colour fields, whitespace, and information hierarchy then links storefront, menu, counter cues, and packaging.
Case narrative
Design
The result is an operating hospitality-brand prototype rather than a single mood image. Identity rules create consistency, the menu structures choice and price, the counter guides ordering and pickup, and the takeaway family carries recognition beyond the store.
Strategy translated into delivery
The systems below connect each strategic decision to an inspectable specification, touchpoint, or operable result.
Identity system
A warm, legible identity system
Material colour forms the base while olive blocks act as a recognisable signal at every scale. Spacious layouts keep the warmth restrained rather than decorative.
- Warm ivory, kraft, and olive colour rules
- Title, item, and supporting-type hierarchy

Menu system
Category first, then item choice
The menu answers what kind of meal comes first, then lets guests compare items and prices in one scan. Ordering cues sit at the end of the reading path to reduce hesitation at the counter.
- Item and price hierarchy
- Counter-order reading sequence

Takeaway system
A takeaway family from one cup to a full order
Bags, bread boxes, handled meal boxes, and cup sleeves share one colour-block proportion. Round seals mark a completed handoff so every order size still belongs to the same brand.
- Bag, box, and cup-sleeve family
- Seal and handoff markers
Storefront system
A counter that explains how to order
The display introduces the offer, the adjacent worktop supports payment and pickup, and the rear opening connects production. Materials and colour signal these roles without relying on excessive signage.
- Display, ordering, and pickup flow
- Counter materials and recognition points
