Kohei Matsuno Makes 3D Latte Art

It was just a couple of minutes until foamed milk mountains turned into a Shiba Inu dog reading a Tokyo Weekender magazine. “Here you go,” said Kohei Matsuno, turning around the cup to show me the face of the cute, smiling dog with pink cheeks. Matsuno holds a small stick designed for making takoyaki, but for him it’s a pen for drawing delicate lines with chocolate syrup.The feeling that comes after the initial excitement may be the same for everyone: A huge hesitation to destroy the 3D art so you can drink the latte. Thankfully, the foamy craftsmanship is steady enough to stay in shape at least until you take a flurry of photos and Instagram it.
