Hello there!
This is Binako, your Sarukuma writer ^^
Today I’m excited to introduce a true hidden gem located in Ishihara, Higashi Ward, Kumamoto City:
“Gelateria Capri”.

Located right along the Higashi Interchange road, this charming shop instantly catches your eye with its colorful gelato photos, and a cute girl illustration warmly welcomes every visitor โช

There’s parking for about 2 cars right in front of the shop ^^

The gelato lineup includes:
Milk, Raspberry (Framboise), Black Sesame, Kyoto Matcha,
Blueberry, Chocolate, and Yogurt

Rum Raisin, Vanilla, Pistachio,
Coffee Jelly, Chocolate Chip Banana, Mango,
Blueberry Milk, Plum, and the signature Capri โ what a wonderful variety to choose from! โ

Note: The price differs between dine-in and takeaway due to Japan’s consumption tax system, so when you order, please specify โ (dine-in) or โก (takeaway) โ
Single size: 330 yen
Double size: 450 yen
Triple size: 550 yen
(Note: Blueberry and Pistachio flavors have different pricing.)

You can also choose between a cup or a cone โ whichever you prefer ~ โช

They also offer special gelato sets โช

Gelato Cake!?
Now that’s something you don’t see every day โ definitely makes you curious about what it looks like!
And here’s another surprise: Capri also serves pizza!
Imagine filling up on a delicious savory pizza and then finishing with heavenly gelato… absolutely irresistible.

And here’s the cozy little eat-in corner ^^

Recommended Menu

This time, I went for the Capri flavor in single size โช
As a delightful bonus, they let you try a small one-bite scoop of another flavor โ after much deliberation, I chose Coffee Jelly!
This little extra really makes you feel special!
The Coffee Jelly was incredible…
And yes โ as the name suggests, there’s actual jelly inside.

The Capri flavor I ordered turned out to be an almond-flavored gelato, packed with crushed almonds for an absolutely amazing texture and aroma!
Enjoying the gelato while crunching on the leftover almond pieces filled my mind with pure ใblissใ!

There’s also a heartwarming sign right by the door โช
Seeing it when you arrive really makes you feel glad you came (^^โช
The Blueberry Milk flavor is seasonal, so if it sounds tempting, don’t miss your chance!
Now’s the time โ let’s go!
