Hikari — Japanese Cheesecake Factory Website

Hikari is a specialty Japanese cheesecake brand focused on crafting cloud-light, freshly baked cheesecakes using premium ingredients and traditional Japanese baking inspiration.
We partnered with the brand to design and develop a digital storefront that communicates its craftsmanship, supports seamless preorders, and reflects a clean, minimal Japanese-inspired aesthetic.
