Can you guess the flavor? 💜😈
Since opening our OG location, we’ve expressed a desire to get closer to our Asian roots. This week, that idea takes on a much more personal meaning as we support Alzheimerforeningen’s Huskedagen, helping raise awareness of dementia and supporting the people affected by the disease.
As a teenager, Martin watched his mom slowly lose the memories, stories and connections that made up so much of who she was. Living alongside early-onset dementia made it incredibly difficult to stay connected to his roots while watching her lose more and more of hers.
In many ways that is what makes Hakkō so meaningful to us. It has giving us a way to reconnect with our heritage and with her. Unfortunately, we lost her 10 years ago, but we know that she would have loved, what we’re creating in the city that became her last home.
At the time, the lack of awareness made it difficult for others to understand what we were going through - and, perhaps most importantly, what it meant for her. For friends, it could be hard to understand what was going on, how to relate to someone living with dementia, and how to support a friend going through something so difficult at that age - and there weren’t any words to explain it. That’s why we believe the work Alzheimerforeningen does is so important: raising awareness, funding research and making sure that relatives have access to the support they need - including the people around them who may not know how to help.
Tomorrow we’re launching our Memory Day Special in the same color as the Alzheimer’s awareness color: purple. All profits from the purple drinks and pastries will be donated to Alzheimerforeningen.
You can help support the cause at Mejlgade and Skovgaardgade 🫶🏼
