i. Biography
Chef pâtissière at Pâtisserie Rayonnance in Paris, Yuki Hayato also worked as chef pâtissière at Pages (Paris). In Paris, where patisserie is often framed like fine art, Hayato’s work sits on the side of accumulation: training, repetition, refinement, then the confidence to hold a clear line. The throughline is delicacy under control, with each stage of her career adding weight to a flavor language that stays measured, lucid, and direct.
Coming Up
Tsuji Culinary School gave Yuki Hayato the technical base that later defined her pace and precision. That kind of training asks for exact movement, consistent timing, and enough repetition for technique to become habit; the work that follows tends to show it. From 2018 to 2022, Yuki worked as chef pâtissière at restaurant étoilé parisien in Paris, where her style continued to sharpen around elegance and discipline. Those years in Paris added pressure and context, tightening the balance between restraint and expression and helping set the assured manner that now marks her pastry work. Since 2023, Yuki has been co-fondatrice et chef pâtissière of Pâtisserie Rayonnance, where those earlier disciplines now carry into a more defined point of view. At Pâtisserie Rayonnance, her work reads as technical command with room for imagination, shaped by exacting training and the momentum of her Paris years. The result is a pastry identity built less on excess than on clarity.
