Introducing Aioi Kapi

Hello everyone! This is Mofumofu 🐈, your Sarukuma writer.

Today I’m excited to introduce you to Aioi Kapi, located in Aioi, Koshi City.

Can you spot the “Oshikatsu Shiyo” (Let’s celebrate our faves) sign?
Aioi Kapi is a unique cafe where you can enjoy latte art prints featuring photos of your favorite idols, characters, or loved ones — a popular trend in Japan known as “oshikatsu” culture.

The pink bus is absolutely adorable and Instagram-ready 🤞💕
It’s guaranteed to be the perfect photo spot ☆☆

You can park anywhere on the gravel area 🚗

The lot is spacious, so there’s plenty of room to park comfortably!

Eat-in seating is located behind the bus, but there’s also seating in the front area ☆

There are several eat-in spaces behind the bus, so even on busy days you can enjoy your fan moments without feeling crowded ✨

You’ll hear plenty of “I can’t possibly drink my favorite!” reactions from happy customers everywhere (lol).

All seating areas are covered, so you can relax and enjoy yourself even on rainy days!

The restroom is located on the left side, just past the eat-in area.

Voila! They’ll print it right onto your drink!!!

The machine whirs away as you wait just a few minutes…

And… ta-da! It’s ready!!!!!

Since this wasn’t my own order, I don’t know who the “oshi” (favorite) on the cup is. Sorry about that!
But amazingly, the staff can recognize the person just from the photo 😲

It would also be lovely to print a photo of your child when they were younger and take a picture alongside how they look today 🤭💕

And then!!
I ordered the The Aioi Soft-Serve (Twirly Soft)!

This is the Shine Muscat (limited time) flavor ☆
It’s topped with frozen Shine Muscat grapes, and it was absolutely delicious!!

The cone is packed full all the way down, so you can savor every bite to the very end without any leftover empty cone ✨

Aioi Kapi isn’t just photogenic — the food is also incredibly delicious, so even those without an “oshi” will leave completely satisfied. Be sure to drop by ★
