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 โ™ช

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 โ‘ก (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 ~ โ™ช

They also offer special gelato sets โ™ช

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 โ™ช
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 ใ€Šblissใ€‹!

There’s also a heartwarming sign right by the door โ™ช
Seeing it when you arrive really makes you feel glad you came (^^โ™ช

The Blueberry Milk flavor is seasonal, so if it sounds tempting, don’t miss your chance!

Now’s the time โ€” let’s go!
