THIS BIRKENSTOCK LIFE EPISODE 2 - MEET YUHUA GUO
Taiwanese BIRKENSTOCK fan Yuhua Guo is the proprietor of Yu Dessert Studio, a beautiful emporium of after-dinner delights in Chiayi, southwestern Taiwan.
"餘" means “surplus” or “excess” in Chinese, it brings Yuhua’s hope for the customers to enjoy more and end the meal on a good note with fulfilling sweet treats. For the 26-year-old, dessert is the most important part of the day. “When you enjoy a beautiful dessert you can be full of imagination,”, she says, “… taking the time to savor pudding just opens up more possibilities in life.”
Initially, desserts were a side hobby for Guo, who balanced her culinary experiments with her studies and managing a KZitem channel. Launched in 2018 with her boyfriend Chen, the channel covered their household renovation projects, travel, and food adventures. BIRKENSTOCK was an early supporter of the channel and witnessed Guo's evolution from an amateur dessert maker to a professional, as during her sophomore year she began selling her creations online. Since then, the brand has become a part of her identity. The suede clogs on her feet mirror perfectly the craftsmanship and authenticity of the desserts she creates. After graduating in 2019, the couple decided to draw their interests together and opened a dessert shop of their very own. Right from the start the space was infused with a blend of Japanese tradition and Taiwanese modernity. Now Yu Dessert Studio is an unmissable, intimate stop for anyone seeking to take refuge from the hurly burly hustle of Taiwan.
Guo's choice of footwear is both a style statement and a necessity for her profession. The BIRKENSTOCK footbed provides the support essential for her demanding work. “My Birkenstocks are woven into my life; they are indispensable,” she says. They not only symbolize her love of simplicity but ground her literally and philosophically. “Standing on my feet all day, it’s important that I feel connected to the earth. That’s why I always wear Birkenstocks.”
