Context

Kaeru is El Salvador's first ramen house — a blend of Japanese cuisine and local flavours. From conceptualisation to execution we crafted every element, including the restaurant's name, its visual identity, and the experience around it.

Japanese craftsmanship and Salvadoran flavour, under one roof.

The work

Built with local artists, chefs and restaurant owners.

The goal was a brand that authentically captures that fusion — made by working constantly with people on the ground to create an experience that could only exist here.
