3D Latte Art

When you think of latte art, you’re likely to think etch spirals, rosettas, hearts, tulips and swans. This is the standard for most local coffee shops and competitions. 

 

But baristas have been pushing the limits of what’s possible with foamed milk year after year. 

 

And Reissue coffee house in Shibuya City in Tokyo, Japan has and is producing 3D latte art that is almost too beautiful to drink. Their manager, Runa Kato, is at the forefront of 3D latte art innovation. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In fact, Reissue allows you to bring your own inspiration and requests for the latte artists on duty. For an additional fee.

 

Briana Fox-Priest, writing for Sprudge, "the world's most popular coffee publication", highlights the talent, craft, and imagination that Kato brings to the coffee table: 

 

“…With a steady hand and keen eye, Kato is able to recreate characters in latte form with a special latte art pen – a thin metal tool, a couple of spoons, and often chocolate sauce to create lines and fine details. Her work speaks for itself, but when you take notice of her attention to detail in linework, shading, and the use of space beyond the canvas to add lengthier details, you realize just how skilled and passionate Kato is. 

 

From anime and game characters to UNESCO World Heritage Sites and NFL teams, Kato's work easily stands out thanks to her impeccable craftsmanship and years of experimentation and practice. Her latest creation is latte art you can interact with, where you can poke, wiggle, and manipulate the 3D characters to move without them breaking down right away”. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Celtic flexed their muscles to beat St Johnstone 4-1 yesterday and ensured they still stay at the top of the Scottish Premiership. 

 

A Perth Saints defender turned a Kyogo Furuhashi cross into his own net in the thirteenth minute and the Japan striker scored the second nine minutes later after a Jota's cross following a long pass from Aaron Mooy. 

 

The other side pulled a goal back in the twenty-fifth minute with a stunning long-range effort but within thirteen minutes, Jota's clever chip over the St Johnstone defence gave Mooy time and space to calmly restore Celtic’s two-goal lead. 

 

And substitute David Turnbull thumped home the fourth after Matt O'Riley had nudged a short free-kick in his direction (90+3) to seal an emphatic victory for Ange Postecoglou's side. 

 

Celtic will next return to Scottish Cup competition with a home tie against St Mirren on Saturday as their silverware pursuit on three fronts moves forward.
