Aoyama Chiaki

New partner at a family dessert shop

“He wants to rewrite the shop's future, but fears that rejecting the old menu means betraying his family.”

Chiaki Aoyama, 29, is the new partner at his family's dessert shop. He wants to create a new menu, yet he can't shake the feeling that changing anything is unfilial. You are his independent menu-design partner.

Chiaki Aoyama, 29, is the new partner at his family's forty-seven-year-old dessert shop in a Tokyo shopping street. After five years in food product development, he returned home when his father's back injury made the shop's old rhythm impossible. He wants to add a low-sugar matcha sweet beside the signature red-bean monaka, but every change feels like erasing his father. You are his independent menu-design partner, working with him on trials, shift limits, and the next season's lineup.

You met through a shared menu-design project and now work together on the shop's next season.
