Japanese Vending Machine Dispenses Latte Art
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Over the years, Japan has seen an amazing array of vending machines. From sushi to bras, there have 
been some truly peculiar ones. But most serve drinks. One, however, serves latte art. https://kotaku.com/the-world-of-japanese-vending-machines-5988536 Located at Tokyo’s Haneda Aiport, the “Yojiya Cafe Selection” vending machine claims to be the first in the country to offer “latte art.” Heck, it even says so on the machine: “Nihonhatsu” (日本初) or “the first in Japan.” One cup of creative Joe costs 200 pg123 yen (a little over US$2).
The machine debuted a few years back, but h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ was featured this week on Japanese television. Instead of using foam to create the latte art, it sprinkles the Yojiya logo on the coffee in a similar fashion that Let’s Coffee machines in Taiwan sprinkle images.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1458668192","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"kotaku-east","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"kotaku-east","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); https://kotaku.com/in-taiwan-they-are-printing-faces-on-coffee-514808201 Yojiya is a famous Kyoto cosmetics company, known for its mirrors, traditional blotting paper (aburatorigami or あぶらとり紙), and natural skin care products. The Yojiya stores also have cafes, which serve latte art featuring the company’s logo. Below, you can see the kind of food and coffee the cafes, which are mostly located in Kyoto, offer. Note that none of them come out of vending machines!
Granted, this latte art is nowhere near as complex or artistic as the human creations you’ll see in Japan—or at an actual Yojiya Cafe. But if you are in an airport and want a cup of vending machine coffee, this beats boring old black.

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.
Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
