I don’t think I’m ready to say goodbye.
For ten years, this place was part of my everyday life.
I knew how the mornings would begin, whose messages would come in, what the kitchen would sound like, and who would be there when I walked through the door.
And now, the lights are off.
The kitchen is quiet.
The team chat has gone silent.
And somehow, I’m still checking my emails, still half-expecting another order to come in.
I think that’s the hardest part,
my heart hasn’t quite caught up with the fact that we’re really closed.
So many of you have asked where we’re going next,
and told us to let you know if we ever open again.
I promise, if that day comes, you’ll hear from me.
For now, there is no next plan.
Just taking things one day at a time, and letting life lead us wherever it wants to.
To my team, thank you for giving these ten years a heartbeat.
And to every customer who walked through our doors, came back, brought someone along, or simply remembered us , thank you for making Jyu what it was.
I don’t know what comes next.
But I hope, for all of us,
there are still beautiful things waiting ahead.
Goodbye, Jyu.
You will always be a part of me. 🤍
