Daizu by Ki-Setsu is a Japanese dessert concept in Singapore operating under Ki-Setsu Group.
The brand focuses on a refined, soy-based interpretation of Japanese cheesecake, offering a lighter alternative to the dense, cream-heavy and burnt cheesecake styles commonly found in Singapore.
Daizu was first introduced as a seasonal dessert at Sushi Masa by Ki-Setsu, where it gained positive reception from guests. The concept was subsequently developed into a standalone brand to make the dessert format more accessible to the wider public.
The cheesecake is made using soy beans and soy milk to create a clean, balanced texture and a more delicate flavour profile. The emphasis is on lightness, restraint, and ingredient clarity rather than richness or heaviness.
Daizu does not position itself as a mass bakery concept. It functions as a focused study in minimalist Japanese dessert craftsmanship.
