Organo Gold Introducing Latte Artist Kohei Matsuno

We are huge fans of latte art here at Organo Gold, so we are very excited to be collaborating with renowned Japanese latte artist Kohei Matsuno. Matsuno’s amazing 3D latte creations have gained him attention the world over. Using only a spoon and a toothpick, Matsuno creates adorable foam creatures, such as kittens that look almost too cute to eat.


Matsuno started using two dimensional latte art to impress customers at the Osaka restaurant where we worked. But when latte art became popular, he decided to up his game and create more than just portraits, and moved into the 3D realm. His ingenious 3D foam figures have made him one of the most popular latte artists in Japan, and now across the world.
We spoke to Matsuno about his craft, his favorite OG products, and much more!

How do you come up with new ideas for your latte artworks?
Things that interest me catch my attention naturally, whenever and wherever. I try to replicate that with latte art as soon as I get home, which I find very exciting.

What are your favorite designs to work on?
It’s very difficult to choose — I tend to like works with a realistic touch, like animals. But I’m also good at portraits.

What are your favorite OG products?
They’re all tasty, but I especially like the sweet ones — so if I had to choose my favorite, it would be OG Gourmet CafĂ© Mocha. My second favorite is the OG Gourmet Black Coffee — I was really surprised to hear that it contains Ganoderma.

How do you like to enjoy your OG coffee?
Recently, I like to drink Black Coffee with milk or vanilla syrup.
