APTIMO
Have you experienced Greek yogurt, which has recently become a hot topic?
We bring to you a much talked-about specialty store that was one of the first to bring the appeal of Greek yogurt to Japan.
The Greek yogurt specialty store "APTIMO," which opened in February 2023 in Kita-Sando, is attracting attention as a "cafe that combines taste and health.
What is APTIMO? A yogurt specialty store based on the concept of Greek mythology and healthy beauty
The name "APTIMO" is inspired by "Aphrodite," the goddess of beauty in Greek mythology, and the Greek words "Nostimo" (= love, thank you, delicious).
Centered around the rich Greek yogurt handmade in the store every day, the store offers a new way to enjoy sweets with an emphasis on taste, health, and lifestyle.
Using carefully selected fruit from Futaba Fruits! Luxurious collaboration with a long-established fruit store
The fruit used in APTIMO comes from Futaba Fruits, a long-established fruit shop established in 1941.
Futaba Fruits has its main store in Nakano Ward, Tokyo, and in addition to being a fruit store with a keen eye for fruit, it is a brand specializing in fruit that is also popular at cafes and events.
The sweetness and freshness of the fruit itself comes to life, and goes perfectly with APTIMO's rich Greek yogurt. It is also a pleasure to have them carefully cut on the spot.

Ordering Style and Menu Attractions
At APTIMO, you order from a touch-panel machine (cash-payers can use the cash register in the back).
This is an easy-to-use café style with a one-order system / seats are available for one hour / pets are welcome.
The menu changes daily, but on this day there were a whopping 7 flavors on the lineup!
- Plain
- Earl Grey
- Blueberry
- Mango
- Almond Mocha, etc...
One of the most popular is the Seasonal Fruit Bowl (￥1,420).
Choose two types of yogurt of your choice (I chose almond mocha and Earl Grey), and strawberry, blueberry, orange, banana, kiwi, and granola are lavishly arranged on top.
Tasting report: impressive level of richness! Texture like cheese!
Greek yogurt is extremely rich and has a cheesy texture, with the water (whey) removed to the utmost limit.
It is handmade in the store every day using only Hokkaido milk and lactobacillus acidophilus, and is a sweet treat for the body that is high in protein, low in fat, and low in calories.
The ones we had this time were
- Earl Grey: Elegantly sweet with a soft aroma of black tea
- Almond Mocha: Slightly bitter and mature taste. The sweetness is pleasantly understated!
The granola was also generously topped with a crunchy texture and savory accent. Granola was also available for sale.
Great atmosphere and tasteful tableware in the store
The interior of the store is a simple and sophisticated space with a concrete floor.
There is also a select store in the back, creating an atmosphere perfect for those with a high sense of fashion and lifestyle.
What is also interesting are the stylish plates and cutlery.
The design is simple yet cute and somewhat Scandinavian. We are not sure of the brand name, but the use of tableware is irresistible to those who love interior design.
PochipSummary: Body-friendly and delicious. A cafe that satisfies both yogurt lovers and health-conscious people.
APTIMO's yogurt is so good that it is the best Greek yogurt I have ever tasted! APTIMO's yogurt is so impressive that it is the best Greek yogurt I have ever tasted. This luxurious treat, paired with fresh fruit from Futaba Fruits, is a perfect addition to a tour of the Kitasando cafes.
