Footage of an artist making a cup of coffee with 3D characters bathing in it.

The video, filmed in Tokyo, Japan earlier this year, shows the coffee artist crafting the figures out of whipped cream and carefully placing them in a latte.

3D printer, 3D movie, and,,, next comes 3D Latte Art!!!
3D latte art is an art style where the artist uses whipped cream to decorate coffee cups with all sorts of shapes and designs. They say it was invented and spread throughout the world by Barista Kazuki Yamamoto. Yamamoto’s work encompasses a wide range of designs, from animals to popular characters. The Cat and Rabbit that he made during our interview with him were so adorable that we hesitated to drink them. We went to the cafe that Yamamoto manages, called “Reissue,” in Harajuku, to see what 3D Latte Art is like in person.
