Cafe Latte ¥550 Lemonade Sparkling ¥500. Whenever I go to Niseko, I always end up stopping by ☕️ For the drive back, I got a latte and a lemonade. It's a bit hard to tell from the photo, but the larger one is the lemonade and the smaller one is the 12oz iced latte. Both the latte and the lemonade were delicious. They made the long drive back enjoyable and easy.

Arabica Niseko Hirafu is a coffee shop located on Hirafu-zaka, which can be considered the main street of the Niseko area. Arabica is a coffee brand from Kyoto, and aside from Kyoto, it can only be found here in Niseko. Whenever I visit Niseko, I often stop by this coffee shop. My favorite is the iced latte made with Slayer Espresso, known as the world's best espresso machine. #coffee #niseko #Hokkaido #gourmet #travel #foodie

The coffee is delicious, isn't it? I ordered an iced latte and a Kyoto latte. Since I drank the latte, I will refrain from commenting on the espresso. The latte has a strong richness and bitterness, with a lingering acidity that comes afterwards. The Kyoto latte apparently has a little condensed milk in it, and the sweetness of it pairs well with the final acidity. It was delicious.

Niseko Hirafu area has a takeout-only coffee shop♪ This is my second review, but it's actually my third visit. Their café latte is incredibly delicious, so if you're in Niseko, be sure to stop by! Although it's a takeout-only shop, you can park in the parking lot next to the shop. This time, we enjoyed our coffee on the terrace (although in winter, the chairs might be wet...). - Café Latte 12oz size 550 yen. I regretted ordering the 8oz size on my first visit, so this time I went for the 12oz size. It's only 50 yen more, so it's a better deal! The appearance of the coffee was foreign at first glance, but I ordered from a cheerful Japanese-speaking woman. It was ready in a few minutes and handed to me through the window. As I mentioned in my previous review, the elegant sweetness is distinctive, and even though I usually drink my coffee without milk or sugar at coffee shops, I really like the refined sweetness of this café latte! It's a comforting taste. The cream layer on top remained intact throughout, maintaining its creaminess until the last sip. After enjoying it on the terrace, I wondered what to do with the empty cup. When I took it to the staff, they kindly took it from me saying it's okay here too. I later found out there's a dedicated trash bin at the entrance of the drugstore. I'll use that next time. This is a perfect place for a coffee break in the Niseko area! I will visit again~!!

Location: ARABICA Niseko Store I absolutely wanted to visit ARABICA Niseko store in Niseko ☕️ It was super cute ☺️ Since the Genghis Khan restaurant I wanted to go to in Niseko was closed, I plan to visit again in January or February ✨ Operating hours: 10:00-16:30 Closed on Wednesdays Budget: ¥1,000 per person Credit cards accepted, electronic money accepted, parking available, no reservations accepted

There is still a hint of summer lingering in the air, but you can also feel the arrival of autumn on a clear and pleasant day like today as I make my way back from the enjoyable drive to Mt. Yotei. In need of a change of pace, I decided to stop by this place that I found on Tabelog with a reputation of "never disappointing". This coffee shop is a branch of a popular spot in Kyoto where there is always a long line. - Americano Ice 12oz 450 yen As the name suggests, the Americano here is a bit lighter in extraction. However, it has a fruity edge with a subtle richness, a clean finish, and a light bitterness that lingers, satisfying my coffee craving. Overall, not a bad choice to stop by. It definitely lifted my mood. Now, I can't wait to get back home for a relaxing evening drink. Goodbye Mt. Yotei! Until next time. --- Locations visited: Okudo Farm ⇒ Niseko Arishima Farm ⇒ Jagahorikku ⇒ SOUP CURRY Tsuchinoko ⇒ Niseko Distillery ⇒ Goshiki Onsen Ryokan ⇒ Niseko Grand Hotel ⇒ % Arabica Niseko Hirafu 188

I visited Niseko in September 2022 and I love this nature-rich place. Here is a coffee shop that always has a long line in Kyoto. It's a stylish kitchen car. I had an Americano ice coffee with a refreshing aftertaste, which was delicious and easy to drink. Niseko has many stylish shops and is very charming.

During weekdays at 2:00 PM, I had an Ice Latte (size L, ¥600) without having to wait. This shop is operated by Arabica Coffee and is a takeout-only shop located in Gion, Kyoto. I have been to Arabica's shops in Kyoto a few times, but they are usually crowded so I usually pass by. However, this shop seems to be able to order right away at any time due to its location, which is convenient when you want to drink delicious coffee. There are not many coffee shops in this area that are particular about coffee, so having Arabica as an option expands the choices. The Ice Latte is a perfect combination of strong espresso and delicious milk. It is truly delicious. The Hiraoka area is still quiet, but once foreign tourists are allowed, this shop will definitely become popular.

Kutchan Town, % Arabica Niseko Hirafu 188 "Cool Cafe" It started raining a little bit. Enjoying a cafe latte in such weather is quite nice. Order: ✔️2 Cafe Lattes for 500 yen each. Overall impression: Is it famous in Kyoto? It's very stylish! The slightly sweet milk and bitter coffee are a perfect combination. The location and taste helped to heal the fatigue of the journey. The cafe in a container is cute, and it was a nice break while enjoying the view of Niseko town. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much! Location: 188-9 Yamada, Kutchan Town, Abuta District ===========

Me: "I had gelato, let's stop by the Michi-no-Eki on the way back!" Wife: "I want to go to the coffee shop at %!" %?...??? (^^; Navigation search... Is it here? 4 minutes GO≡З≡З Blending into the city, it looks stylish! There's a spacious parking lot, no other customers yet (^^; Background music is English radio haha The iced coffee... it's light but delicious! Oh, 10 stylish young people just arrived. The old folks like us are not leaving the scene! haha Americano Iced 12oz 450 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v

I had heard of the coffee shop "% Arabica" in Arashiyama and Higashiyama in Kyoto, but I found out from a follower's review (Amichiki-san) that they had a branch in Niseko, Hokkaido. I wanted to visit in the summer, but they were not open at that time. Now that it's winter, I finally visited. This time, I tried the Cafe Latte in size M for 500 yen (tax included). Since I had done my research and knew that they only do latte art for hot drinks, I ordered a hot Cafe Latte. When asked about the size, I chose the middle one for 500 yen. I regretted not getting a larger size after tasting it because it was delicious. (The L size is 550 yen). There were no other customers when I arrived, which made me wonder if the shop is not well-known here yet, despite being popular in Kyoto. However, more customers came later, so it seems to have some recognition. You can park at the shared parking lot behind the building: Hirafu 188. The taste of the Cafe Latte was perfect, with the combination of Arabica beans and milk. It was delicious from the first sip! The balance of creaminess, bean aroma, and richness was just right. Initially, I thought 500 yen for a takeout drink was a bit expensive, but considering how delicious it was, I would definitely come back. The staff was also friendly, which left a good impression on me. *Added on January 29th: I had the misconception that this shop is only open in winter, probably confusing it with another shop in the area. Amichiki-san's review was from September 2020 when they were open, so my plan to visit in the summer was incorrect. The information on Tabelog about the shop being open year-round with irregular holidays was correct. I apologize for the misunderstanding. As of January 29th, the rating is 3.00. Will it increase as more people visit? Looking forward to the future.

An stylish coffee stand located halfway up Hirafu Slope. I stopped by because it caught my eye while climbing the slope! In addition to coffee, they also have lemonade, so I ordered an almond latte and lemonade. You can customize the latte with soy milk too! The delicious coffee in a cute cup while enjoying the view of Niseko was amazing. I would love to stop by this coffee stand again on a whim.

A coffee shop opened in Hirafu, Niseko. The shop opened in December 2019 and is popular among those who enjoy cafe hopping on Instagram. It has a stylish atmosphere similar to cafes overseas, blending in with the nearby shops. The shop is take-out only, with a window to place orders. The cafe latte hot version comes with latte art, but I got the ice version. The % logo is trendy, and there are several photo spots in the shop. The black dog on the signboard is cute. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Yotei, so it's worth a visit when you're in the area. However, they seem to be closed during the winter season. Thank you for the meal.

Please enjoy the coffee based on the atmosphere! If there is no atmosphere, it's just a slightly tasty coffee.

Lemonade: ★★★★☆ The lemonade here is so refreshing and delicious. It's the perfect drink to cool down on a hot day. I highly recommend trying it!
