My favourite dish was the zucchini pasta with nut balls and tomato sauce, the textures were spot on for me. All the crunchy salads were great too and it would be a crime not to mention the ridiculously amazing raw treats, rather than me tell you about them, do yourself a favour and try them! Plus the whole place is made from sustainable materials so it has an awesome feel and energy. So rapt a place like this now exists in Melbourne, Yoko, you’re a huge inspiration, keep shining!”[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”24756″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1580376933210{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(187, 160, 122)” fs=”16px” ls=”0.1em” lh=”1em” margin=”bottom_large:0px”]Lola Berry[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(142, 145, 150)” fs=”14px” ls=”0.05em”]Leading nutritionist[/ld_fancy_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner align=”text-center” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1533106982545{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 8% !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”][ld_spacer height=”25px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h4″ use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(63, 65, 71)” fs=”22px”]”First of all I just have to say that I appreciate very much Yoko’s honestly and passionately crafted morsels and her consideration of the consumer, the sustainability of the environment, her values and simultaneously managing to create blissfully flavoured products.

Being a new vegan and never have cooked raw food before it was certainly an eye-opening experience and a great way to make a start. Yoko is highly knowledgable and experienced with raw and super foods that she was able to teach me three delicious and nutritional recipes with ease within a couple of hours. I look forward to taking more classes with her in the future.”[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”40px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(187, 160, 122)” fs=”16px” ls=”0.1em” lh=”1em” margin=”bottom_large:0px”]Jenny[/ld_fancy_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner align=”text-center” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1533106982545{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 8% !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”][ld_spacer height=”25px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h4″ use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(63, 65, 71)” fs=”22px”]“Yoko is one of the most blissful humans I have ever met. Her inner light radiates from every ounce of her being. Her passion for health and balance shines through in her holistic menu at Shoku Iku. Yoko values the traditional uses for herbs and creates dishes accordingly that energetically bring the body back into balance. Her menu is like the Garden of Eden for health-foodies- there are just too many delicious items to choose from! Not only is the food nourishing and delicious, the space for me acts as a little healing sanctuary tucked away on the north side of the city.

They are passionate and knowledgable about what they do and are happy to share this with you. As an innovative raw food cafe, I love popping in to see what they are serving up and always leave feeling nourished. Yoko’s sweets are heavenly. You would have no idea that they are raw, vegan and dairy free and I love serving them at events. My clients get a real buzz out out of knowing that they are healthy sweets and always go back for seconds – more so because they are delicious! I love working with Shoku Iku because of their aligned values, their contribution to the community and because of Yoko and the magic she weaves with food.”[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_spacer height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”24776″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_rounded” css=”.vc_custom_1580380414576{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” transform=”text-uppercase” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(187, 160, 122)” fs=”16px” ls=”0.1em” lh=”1em” margin=”bottom_large:0px”]Cassie Lucas[/ld_fancy_heading][ld_fancy_heading tag=”p” use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(142, 145, 150)” fs=”14px” ls=”0.05em”]Firecracker[/ld_fancy_heading][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner align=”text-center” offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10″ css=”.vc_custom_1533106982545{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-right: 8% !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”][ld_spacer height=”25px”][ld_fancy_heading tag=”h4″ use_custom_fonts_title=”true” color=”rgb(63, 65, 71)” fs=”22px”]“More than a cafe, more than a community hub and more than an enlightened space…Shoku Iku is a haven for all that is right and good.
