Umeshiso creates joyful products for beautiful people, and that means you. Every person belongs, and every person has a place at our table. Our star product? The rainbow-hued Little Dipper, declared Best Spoon On The Market by Bon Appétit Magazine.
“My name is Umeko and I didn’t know I was going sell gay-looking spoons. I just worked in specialty coffee for 14 years and always felt super out of place.
I’m a nonbinary wasian gaysian and girl I love that for me. But the coffee industry does not always welcome all identities. So I started taking my own rainbow spoons to coffee cuppings (tastings). No matter what anyone said to me, the rainbow spoon protected my vibe. My aura, if you will.
It turns out many people related and wanted their own rainbow spoons – so I created Umeshiso.”
– Umeko Motoyoshi, Founder
